- A new regulatory model for nurse practitioners (NPs) will take effect in spring 2027 in Nova Scotia. NPs will be educated and licensed to practice across the client life span (all client ages) and across health care practice settings, rather than by client population, including Family All Ages / Primary Care, Pediatric, and Adult.
- In case you missed it, we released our new Regulatory Impact Assessment Report, which includes findings and recommendations to enhance our professional conduct processes.
