Choosing Wisely Canada - Nursing Community of Practice
Choosing Wisely Canada leads efforts to reduce unnecessary tests and treatments that can harm patients, waste health care resources, and impact the environment. To enhance the visibility of nursing within Choosing Wisely Canada’s initiatives, a new Community of Practice was launched in the Fall of 2024. This national forum brings together nursing professionals engaged or interested in Choosing Wisely initiatives, providing a platform to discuss recommendations, share implementation success stories and challenges, and identify opportunities for collaboration with other nursing professionals across the country.
Upcoming Meeting: RN Prescribing: Leveraging Choosing Wisely Canada for Evidence-Based Practice on Friday, May 23, 2025, at 1:00 PM AST
