2:20 PM PANEL DISCUSSION: NURSING LEADERSHIP IN HEALTH POLICY AND SYSTEM REFORM

Nurses are central to shaping the future of the health system, yet their voices are often underrepresented in policy and governance. This session examines how nurses can influence health policy, advocate for system-wide improvements, and lead reforms that impact workforce, patient care, and innovation. 

  • Developing leadership pathways for influence in policy and governance 

  • Advocacy strategies for workforce, patient safety, and equitable access 

  • Collaborating with government and health agencies to shape sustainable care models
