CONFERENCE PRESIDENT S MESSAGE PROGRAM It is my privilege to welcome you to the 2015 British Columbia Nurse Practitioner Conference. This conference marks a milestone in our history, the tenth anniversary of our profession in British Columbia hence our theme 10 years Celebrating success, focusing on the future. Over these last ten years, we have experienced many challenges and successes and remain committed to bettering the profession and excellence in care we provide. In 2005 we had legislation proclaimed that would allow Nurse Practitioners to enter into the field of health care in British Columbia. The first graduates from BC Nurse Practitioner programs as well as NP s from other provinces would seek to register as Nurse Practitioners in the BC for the first time. Nurse Practitioners then and now, are the pioneers of the profession, seeking to expand the scope of practice for all Nurse Practitioners. I am proud to say that as your professional association, we have worked to remove many legislative, regulatory and policy barriers, however we still have a number yet to overcome and so the work continues, but we are committed to moving nurse practitioners to full practice authority. The current climate in healthcare could not be more opportunistic for Nurse Practitioners as we see great numbers of individuals world wide in need of primary health care. As your professional association, the BCNPA seeks to improve access to health care for British Columbians, provide practice and professional support to Nurse Practitioners and advocate for healthy public policy that will allow us to be fully integrated into our health care system and help those we care for to achieve and sustain optimal health throughout their life. The conference program seeks to inform, and challenge your ways of knowing and your practice. I ask each of you to think about how you can affect change, whether it big or small, collectively we have the ability to make a difference in the health of all British Columbians. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you, the Nurse Practitioners who everyday work to provide high quality healthcare to British Columbians. The Nurse Practitioners who continue to break down the barriers, build collaborative relationships and raise the bar on the care we provide. Over the next 3 days I hope that you will have the opportunity to forge new relationships, rekindle olds ones and take away great learning s from our program. Sincerely, Stan Marchuk, BSN, MN, NP(F), CNeph(c) President

CONFERENCE KEYNOTE SPEAKER PROGRAM Ruth E. Martin-Misener RN-NP, PhD, Keynote Speaker Ruth Martin-Misener s career has been focused on primary health care. After practicing in the Canadian North she was invited to return to Dalhousie School of Nursing to teach in the Outpost Nursing Program from which she received her diploma in 1986. The Dalhousie Outpost Nursing Program (DOPN) was, essentially, Canada s first nurse practitioner (NP) program and in the late 1990s Martin-Misener played a key role in transitioning the DOPN to a Primary Health Care Nurse Practitioner (NP) Program. Dr. Martin-Misener has been a key player in the development and implementation of the NP role in Nova Scotia and nationally. She has worked closely with the College of Registered Nurses of Nova Scotia to develop NP regulatory policies and processes and was a central figure in the Strengthening Primary Care Initiative in Nova Scotia, and the Canadian Nurse Practitioner Initiative. After completing her PhD at the University of Calgary in 2006, Martin-Misener completed a strategic fellowship in TUTOR-PHC, a CIHR-funded training initiative that aims to build a critical mass of researchers through student and faculty development and increase interdisciplinary focus in primary health care research. In 2009 she was invited to join the TUTOR-PHC team as a co-investigator and mentor. Dr. Martin Misener s research has focused on the implementation and evaluation of multi-disciplinary innovative models of care in primary and long-term care for example, the rural primary health care delivered collaboratively by NPs, paramedics and family physicians on Long and Briar Islands. Dr. Martin-Misener was profoundly influenced and inspired by Dr. Alba DiCenso s research mentorship offered through her Advanced Practice Nursing Chair at McMaster University. When the Chair program ended, Martin-Misener played a key role in the evolution to the Canadian Center for Advanced Practice Nursing Research for which she now is co-director. Over the past decade this group has been highly productive completing several influential studies including a CHSRF-commissioned Decision Support Synthesis on Clinical Nurse Specialists and Nurse Practitioners in Canada leading to a peer-reviewed special KEYNOTE SPEAKER issue of Canadian Journal of Nursing Leadership consisting of 10 papers and a systematic review of the cost effectiveness of advanced practice nurse roles. In recognition of her many contributions, she received a Centennial Award of Distinction from College of Registered Nurses of Nova Scotia in 2009.
