2024 Annual Report Now Available
We are pleased to share our 2024 Annual Report. The report highlights some of the ways that we delivered on our mandate of protecting the public last year. Focused around our three strategic objectives, the Annual Report demonstrates how we prioritized our efforts in 2024 to deliver transparent, effective and accountable regulation.
We recognize our achievements would not be possible without the contributions of others, including the over 23,000 nurses across this province. We thank the public, nurses, health care system partners and all stakeholders across Nova Scotia for their commitment and support.
