With a workforce focused on high-tech and high-touch, CANS is hosting a series of events to bring together thought leaders and the wider community to explore technology advancement and role of humanistic care in our evolving healthcare landscape.  

CANS Collective Series on Workforce Leadership

CANS Collective Series aims to initiate synergistic connection amongst nurses and thought leaders on future work (care delivery), workforce (transformation) and workplace (culture, innovations & informatics). Through these thought-provoking conversations, we hope to catalyze further engagements and collaborations.
