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 terri-torial healthcare systems create challenges for harmonizing efforts. In this article, we discuss a solution to bring together nurse leaders across juris-dictions 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.
