In this, the Year of the Nurse and the Midwife, nurses around the globe are fighting COVID-19 with knowledge, compassion, and courage.
On April 22, join Dr. Doris Grinspun, CEO of the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario (RNAO)* and colleagues, to learn how RNAO is shaping the pandemic response in Ontario, Canada.

Key areas of discussion will include:
1. Leadership role with government and the media to advocate for a proactive and evidence-based response
2. An influential source of solid policy analysis and recommendations
3. A health human resource program (VIANurse) that has recruited thousands of nurses and nursing students to meet health system needs
4. Intersectoral and interprofessional collaboration to protect our most vulnerable
5. Collective mobilisation of the public to cheer for health workers every night and spread hope to those working on the front lines.
Participants will be invited to share their experiences and questions, stay up-to-date with daily COVID-19 updates and weekly webinars, and partake in social
