COMMUNICATION

Facilitate responsive and relevant communication with the public, LPNs and stakeholders.

Communication efforts this year focused on ensuring the public clearly understands the regulatory role of the CLPNA and the accountability of LPNs.

The CLPNA’s website was redesigned with a focus on public protection, accessibility and transparency, including highlighting and simplifying the process of making a complaint. Website revisions were completed to reflect Bill 21; a webinar webpage was added to improve accessibility to ongoing education for LPNs; and the LPN practice decision-making tool is now available online in three platforms, making safe practice guidance even easier to access. Web information for the CLPNA’s AGM and Conference was also updated and enhanced.

With the goal of maintaining LPN knowledge and commitment to their regulatory requirements, a National Nursing Week quiz provided a chance for LPNs to find answers on the CLPNA website. CARE magazine, the quarterly publication of the CLPNA, prioritized regulatory content, and offered members the most current information on regulation, research and competence.

Public awareness campaigns aimed to inform the public of regulatory standards and accountability of LPNs, using digital and radio platforms, and included ongoing social media messaging to deliver necessary regulatory information to members and stakeholders.
