Conference theme: Catapulting NP Systems: The Value of NPs as Clinicians, Leaders, Scholars & Educators

Submit your abstract for a chance to present at the 2025 NPAO Annual Conference and inspire the next wave of healthcare innovation. Deadline: March 28, 2025.

The Nurse Practitioners’ Association of Ontario Annual Conference is an important forum that brings NPs together from across Ontario. The conference runs over three days and helps facilitate meaningful dialogue about issues of importance to NP practice through the sharing of ideas, insights and research on a broad range of topic

We invite topics relevant to nurse practitioner clinical practice, leadership, regulation, policy, education, research, and quality improvement.

With this as a guiding principle, submissions are invited under the following areas:

Clinical – providing knowledge or clinical pearls on health care issues from birth to death, spanning prevention to treatment including end-of-life care, including issues fundamental to NP practice.

Innovation – exploring the innovative work of NPs. Innovative work could be research-based (qualitative/quantitative) or quality improvement initiatives and programs. (Note: only completed research is eligible for podium presentations). This topic area includes but is not limited to quality and process improvement projects, health policy, education and creative approaches to patient and system-focused initiatives.

Relevance to Practice – communicating trends and barriers to NP practice and/or strategies to explore new opportunities that benefit patients or NP practice.

Examples are program development, legislative challenges, implementation of clinical care pathways, etc.

Who should submit?

We welcome abstract submissions from all Nurse Practitioners-Primary Health Care (NP-PHC); Paediatrics (NP-Paediatrics); Adult (NP-Adult) and NP Students.
