Developed in collaboration with partners including the Ministry of Health, Nurses and Nurse Practitioners of BC, Health Quality BC, and the UBC Innovation Support Unit, the supports are particularly helpful for practices participating in the Ministry of Health’s Nurse in Practice Program and provide a step-by-step guide through the process.
