Strengthening the Capacity of Nurse Researchers to Influence Health Policy (Virtual)

In a climate where dissemination of scholarly work to those who are in positions to make change on a policy level, it is critical that nurse researchers have advanced opportunities for learning about policy engagement.

This webinar aims to strengthen the capacity of nurse researchers to influence health policy. Panelists will discuss how to create the link between research and policy, develop skills in communication, public speaking, and messaging in relation to policy and policymakers, and engage with the community, key stakeholders, and relevant boards to move a policy agenda forward.

We have invited speakers who are engaged with research and policy at all levels. We are planning for robust participant engagement during the Q&A session, so please come with questions and ideas for discussion.

Objectives - At the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:

1. Describe the process of policy change
2. Identify three strategies for engaging with policymakers
3. Distinguish how research can be used to influence policy.
