Saskatchewan Association of Nurse Practitioners

Political Advocacy

(Lia Boxall, SANP President Elect, Minister of Health Don McMorris, Barb Warkentin, SANP President, Maureen Klenk, SANP Past President)

Political advocacy is defined as publicly supporting or suggesting an idea, development or a way of doing something. SANP  practices  political advocacy by: 

• Influencing legislation, regulation and policy to enhance the capacity of Nurse Practitioners to contribute to healthcare
• Promoting  awareness of Nurse Practitioners roles in the health care system and with the public to ensure the role is understood, respected and optimized
• Partnering  with stakeholders, to influence government and other health care professionals on critical health issues which affect the well-being of the people of Saskatchewan.
