NP practice is broad, diverse, and constantly evol NP practice is broad, diverse, and constantly evolving. That is why professional connection matters. NPAO brings Nurse Practitioners together across practice settings through Communities of Practice, member engagement, education, advocacy, and shared resources. These connections help NPs learn from one another, identify common challenges, and strengthen the profession together. No NP should have to practise in isolation.
Foot and lower-limb complaints can be tricky — kno Foot and lower-limb complaints can be tricky — knowing what to assess, treat, and refer makes all the difference. Join Kintec’s biomechanics experts at the 2026 NPAO Annual Conference for a fast-paced, hands-on workshop built for Nurse Practitioners. Through real cases, a live gait analysis demo, and practical takeaways, you’ll strengthen your approach to common foot and lower-limb conditions, referrals, orthotics, and early interventions. Walk away with simple tools you can use right away in practice. Comment NPAO2026 for the registration link. #NPAO2026 #NPAOConference #NursePractitioners #PrimaryCare #MSK #FootHealth #ClinicalSkills
NPAO was privileged to present alongside our prima NPAO was privileged to present alongside our primary care partners @afhtoprimarycare and @ocfp_ont at the @amppolicy conference, supporting collaborative conversations with municipalities about primary care expansion and its impact on communities across Ontario. With a shared focus on increasing attachment and access to care, many important solutions were brought forward—including the need to fully include and integrate Nurse Practitioners working to their full scope as part of Ontario’s primary care transformation. Strengthening primary care will take all of us. NPAO looks forward to continued collaboration with municipalities, government, primary care partners, and health system leaders to build sustainable, community-responsive solutions and strengthen care for Ontarians. #PrimaryCare #NursePractitioners #NPs #HealthCare #OntarioHealth #AMO2026 #TeamBasedCare #PrimaryCareTransformation
Thank you to MPP @anthonyleonardi , Parliamentary Thank you to MPP @anthonyleonardi , Parliamentary Assistant to the Minister of Health, for a productive conversation this morning at the @amopolicy Conference in Ottawa about increasing access and attachment for Ontarians through Nurse Practitioner care. NPAO continues to support knowledge translation, collaboration and advocacy to help ensure advancements in primary care put patients at the centre, while also creating the conditions for Nurse Practitioners to deliver high-quality, sustainable care to the fullest extent of their expertise. We are also grateful to @twp_mapleton @mapleton_mayor_gregg @townofminto Mayor Dave Turton, and @mattrae for their continued support and leadership in advancing models of care that improve access and deliver high-quality health care for the communities they represent. Strong partnerships between government, municipalities, health system leaders and Nurse Practitioners are essential as we work toward a more accessible and sustainable health system for all Ontarians. #NPAO #NursePractitioners #AMO2026 #PrimaryCare #HealthCare #PatientAccess #NPs #OntarioHealthCare
