    Booking Calendar Booking Form Pre-Webinar Booking Infomation Post-Webinar NSWOCC WOC Institute Continuing Education Webinar Series Guide for Partners Introduction As a part of our commitment to continuing education for NSWOCs, SWANs, and other allied healthcare professionals, the NSWOCC Wound, Ostomy and Continence Institute hosts a series of 1-hour educational webinars throughout the year (excluding summer months) open to NSWOCC Members and the public. 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. We use Zoom Webinar to host all webinars. The cost to host a sponsored webinar is $2,000. Booking a webinar All webinars must be booked a minimum of 28 days in advance through the NSWOCC website on this page. When you book a webinar, you will reserve a full week block . This will ensure that other webinars will not be booked right before/after your webinar date or oversaturate our educational calendar. You can then choose the final date/time to host the webinar no later than 21 days in advance. Once a webinar is booked, NSWOCC will work with your company to create marketing material, promote the webinar to our mailing lists and over social media, and can help moderate the opening and Q&A portions of the webinar. We will also take care of sending certificates of attendance to attendees and editing & exporting the recorded webinar to be made available on our website. Certificates of attendance and the webinar recording are completed within 48 hours of the webinar. In the interest of providing equal opportunity to all industry partners, NSWOCC will not book a webinar with the same company more than twice in any 4-month span, unless a prior partnership agreement or Memorandum of Agreement has been signed.

  • 2022 Nova Scotia Summit | NSWOCC

    The Nova Scotia Wound, Ostomy and Continence Summit: Supporting Sustainability Bringing together government, administrators, clinical leaders, patients, and industry Thursday, September 22, 2022 8:30AM TO 12:15PM ADT Halifax Tower Hotel & Conference Centre On September 22, 2022, sixty-six health care stakeholders, registered charities focused on specialized nursing care, and industry came together to discuss the current situation of wound, ostomy, and continence care in the Province of Nova Scotia. There was a need identified by a person living with an ostomy to better understand how critical health care providers could collaborate and contribute to better access to specialized care and the sustainability of health care in the areas of wound, ostomy, and continence. Current information was shared in these three domains of wound, ostomy, and continence, as well as best practice and innovation. Objectives Update our stakeholders on best practices in wound, ostomy and continence within Nova Scotia Evaluate a patient’s experience living with an ostomy in Nova Scotia Determine the economic burden for people living with an ostomy through the review of the ostomy impact study Provide information on the value of a wound, ostomy and continence tri-specialty to support patient-centred improvements Deliver updated information of the Nova Scotia continuing care provincial wound care program Discuss wound care innovation within the province of Nova Scotia Engage and strengthen wound, ostomy and continence health within Nova Scotia Attendees Healthcare Administration, Government, and Academic Stakeholders Senior nurses from the community and continuing care Nurses Specialized in Wound, Ostomy and Continence Canada Meeting Proceedings Download now Attending Industry Partners For Industry Demonstrate to key healthcare stakeholders your commitment to improving Wound, Ostomy and/or Continence care for nurses & patients by attending the Nova Scotia Wound, Ostomy and Continence Summit as a partner.

  • 2023 New Brunswick Summit | NSWOCC

    The New Brunswick Wound, Ostomy and Continence Summit: Bringing together government, administrators, clinical leaders, patients, and industry Thursday, June 1, 2023 8:00AM TO 1:00PM ADT Fredericton Convention Centre 670 Queen Street, Fredericton NB Objectives On June 1, 2023, 95 patients, health care administration, government and academic decision makers, senior nurses from acute care, community and continuing care, Nurses Specialized in Wound, Ostomy and Continence (NSWOCs), and industry came together to address the access to specialized wound, ostomy, and continence care in New Brunswick beginning with these four priorities: Funding for more specialized wound, ostomy, and continence nursing positions across the continuum of care so that the transition for the patient is seamless moving from hospital to community. There are no existing formal Nurse Specialized in Wound, Ostomy, and Continence (NSWOC) positions in New Brunswick in home care or long-term care. NSWOCs provide thorough assessments, select appropriate products and technologies, and monitor the patient as they move through the system. This provides patient-centred care, optimal clinical outcomes and is shown to save money across the overall provincial health care system. Ensure the appropriate distribution of NSWOCs based on the patient population in each health region. There is a critical imbalance in the number of NSWOCs between Vitalité and Horizon Health Networks and within the Horizon Health Network itself. It is disproportionate to the number of wound/ostomy consults. The number of wound consults has increased by over 200% in some areas of New Brunswick. Provide immediate public coverage for essential ostomy supplies to the 4,570 ostomates, meeting this basic human right of elimination for all New Brunswickers. New Brunswick lags other provinces in providing a well thought out and sustainable plan for ostomy reimbursement. People living with an ostomy in New Brunswick earning over $25,000 per annum should not be expected to pay out of pocket. Individuals should not choose between putting food on the table or essential ostomy supplies for this medically necessary bodily action. Put together an educational strategy to improve wound care knowledge by providing a foundational program for nurses in the Province of New Brunswick. To support this initiative, NSWOCC is providing 30 complimentary educational seats to nurses in New Brunswick to the NSWOCC WOC Institute’s foundational wound management program, part of the practice enrichment series, to enhance knowledge, skills, and judgment of nurses in the province caring for patients with wounds.
