PreConference focus: Peer to Peer Networks

We are planning our PreConference which will have a focus on Peer to Peer Networks and how they can work for Canadian nurses. We will look at the various models used to create these Networks, look at the role of the CNIA and other Canadian nursing informatics experts in their development, and brainstorm together about how we can collectively promote usable models within all provinces and territories across the nation.

If you are an expert in Peer to Peer Networks and would like to take a part in leading this workshop. please contact us at conference@cnia.ca
