Recipient of the 2017 Heather Keith Leadership Award

Shelly Cal

Congratulations to Shelly Cal on being the recipient of the 2017 Heather Keith Leadership Award. 

Shelly has been practicing as an NP in Hudson Bay for 18 years.  Shelly's focus on her clients naturally leads her to empower them to be active in their health care.  She understood a need to motivate those who are difficult to motivate to do so and she was instrumental in starting a long running program in Hudson Bay called "In-To-It".  Shelly is a master at recognizing patterns in her community through her clinic work as an NP.  Then she goes the next step in partnering with other community members and groups to address those needs and to improve opportunities in Hudson Bay.

Shelly's belief is always that the patient comes first and that her patients are part of a broader community that also requires care. 

Please join us on congratulating Shelly Cal!

BCNPA Primary Care Transformation in British Columbia

The British Columbia Nurse Practitioner Association (BCNPA) wrote and released a paper in November 2016 around sustainable funding models for NPs in BC.  This paper has been distributed provincially and nationally to a wide group of stakeholders and they have received favourable review and feedback from many, including the Canadian Nurses Association, the BC Chief Nursing Officers, and the provincial and federal Ministries of Health.

The paper was recently presented by one of the co-authors Dr. Natasha Prodan-Bhalla, at the UBC Centre for Health Services and Policy Research Conference in Vancouver.  It was well-received there with keen interest from physicians who are interested in working with interprofessional teams in multi-disciplinary settings but are hampered by the limitations of their own current funding models.  Sustainable funding for new NP roles was seen as a pressing need by those in attendance.
