Fostering Pan-Canadian Collaboration to Advance Nursing Workforce Development: A Case Study From the Genomics Experience.

A skilled nursing workforce can ensure that Canadians have safe and equitable access to genomics-informed healthcare. Evidence-informed frameworks designed to support the implementation of genomics across nursing indicate that leadership and collaboration are critical to success. However, siloed provincial and territorial healthcare systems create challenges for harmonizing efforts. In this article, we discuss a solution to bring together nurse leaders across jurisdictions and domains of practice to co-create pan-Canadian strategic directions for genomics integration. We highlight the importance of national collaboration and the value it brings to nursing workforce development in rapidly changing social and technological contexts.
