Developing Nursematrix: A Platform for Collaboratively Managing Required Learning and Professional Development
An individual nurse's knowledge is and always has been unique. With the cumulative knowledge of the profession spanning countless settings, we meet standards over 5 domains of practice, and we all know 'A nurse is a nurse' couldn't be further from the truth.
As we launch into the age of Precision Health Care, caring for patients in a way that is so deeply unique to them, we should also be utilizing technology as a tool to collectively capture the nursing knowledge that is so deeply unique to our profession and using it to intentionally enhance career growth as a Precision Nursing Workforce.
In this webinar we will:
- Explore the process of developing NurseMatrix - The Canadian Skills and Competency Solution for a Precision Nursing Workforce.
- Acknowledge the many calls to actions that lead to its development.
- Delve into importance of inspiring nursing colleagues, showing them how to collaboratively take back ownership of professional learning and development, at any stage of their journey, so they can maintain confidence in any new setting or role, and feel successful in a long and satisfying career.

From Impaired to Optimized: Enhancing Healing Potential in Wound Care Through Catalytic Technology
Wound healing often doesn’t fail because of the care being provided. It can stall when the underlying biochemical environment is impaired, limiting the body’s natural healing potential.
Join us to explore how catalytic technology can help address this challenge by enhancing healing potential in wound care and supporting the body’s intrinsic skin and wound healing processes. This session will:
-
-
- Unpack the science behind catalytic treatment matrix technology and its role in addressing the risk or presence of biochemical stagnation, helping to restore conditions needed for effective tissue repair.
- Offer clinical insights into how NanoSALV Catalytic can be integrated into wound and skin care strategies to support tissue repair, modulate inflammation, and optimize healing outcomes across diverse care settings.
-
When healing might be impaired, the opportunity isn’t just to treat the wound but also to re-establish the conditions that allow healing to happen.
