Across Canada and beyond, Nurses Specialized in Wound, Ostomy and Continence (NSWOCs), Skin Wellness Associate Nurses (SWANs), and members of our broader community have dedicated their careers to improving patient outcomes, advancing practice, and strengthening health systems.

Depending on the topic and timing of the webinar, each webinar receives between 200-400 registrants and between 50-250 attendees live. Webinars receive registrants and attendees from across Canada and beyond. The majority of registrants and attendees are NSWOCC Members, while many other healthcare professionals attend too.
