This annual collaborative event is jointly hosted by NLCSW and NL College of Nurses. The 2026 session will include a panel of subject-matter experts exploring what it means to lead effectively within today’s complex and collaborative health care settings. Some key topics that will be discussed include understanding regulatory/professional expectations related to leadership, supporting colleagues and students through effective preceptorship/mentorship within the health care team, demonstrating effective communication, understanding emotional intelligence and its impact within the practice setting, and managing change with confidence in order to contribute to healthy, high-functioning teams and how each of us can demonstrate leadership, no matter our role. Together, we’ll look at ways to strengthen collaboration, support one another, foster resilience, and navigate change while adhering to our professional values and regulatory expectations.
