Welcome to the Provincial Nurse Educator Interest Group (PNEIG)
 As
conference co-chair and president of CHNIG I am pleased to
invite you to participate in the 4th National
Community Health Nurses Conference.
This year the conference is a collaboration between the
Community Health Nurses of Canada (CHNC) and the Community
Health Nurses Initiative Group (CHNIG). The conference will
be held in Toronto, June 16-18, 2010.
The theme this year; Knowledge to Action:
Engage, Enable, Inspire, builds on the incredible success of
the previous 3 conferences which ‘blazed our trail’ with
the dissemination of current knowledge and research in
community health nursing. Now is the time to put that
knowledge into action.
Informative concurrent sessions include keynote speakers and
panels, with more than 70 concurrent speakers, 6 Networking
Cafés, 40 roundtable discussions and 20 poster presentations
on topics relevant to public health, home health and
community health nurses across Canada. Pre-conference
sessions are offered on important topics such as communities
of practice, determinants of health and evidence informed
decision making. It has never been so important to
incorporate Knowledge to Action, by engaging nurses with
others in knowledge exchange, enabling evidence informed
practice, and inspiring excellence. I've attached the
Preliminary
Program for
your review.
Learn from experts in the fields of research, education,
practice, administration and policy. You’ll discover
solutions to complex community health nursing issues with
dialogue and discussion on best practice from across the
country. All this while you network and build partnerships
with others who share similar interests, issues and
challenges.
I know nursing experience will be
educational and uplifting. Help us celebrate and promote all
that is good with the profession of nursing and get inspired
and excited about being community health nurses! See
www.chnc.ca
Respectfully,
Katie Dilworth, Conference co-chair,
President CHNIG

differences. Promote research and education by encouraging a
spirit of inquiry and a framework for professional development.
In addition to your
leadership passion and presence, you will add outstanding

role, you have the requisite knowledge and passion, a highly
developed ability to influence and inspire teams and the ability
