Update on NSCN’s Annual Meeting
After carefully considering the resources required to prepare for migration to the Regulated Health Professions Act and the amalgamation with the Midwifery Regulatory Council of Nova Scotia (MRCNS), the NSCN Board has made the decision to change the format of its 2026 Annual Meeting.
Rather than hold an online event, the Board will instead circulate relevant materials that will provide the public, registrants and health system partners with an opportunity to submit questions and learn more about NSCN’s work over the past year.
Learn more about this decision.
