Welcome, Canadian Pediatric Endocrine Nurses!
Our blog's URL address will soon be distributed to the pediatric endo nurses across the country. So welcome, dear colleagues, to a new and improved CPEG, designed to be an inclusive community of all health professionals and scientists with an interest in pediatric endocrinology. Including our esteemed nursing colleagues! At the last CDA/CSEM meeting in Toronto, we have established an official structure, including by-laws. Please scroll down below to have a look at what we have come up with.
Canadian pediatric endocrine nurses are currently exploring a more structured organization. At CPEG we are hoping to resume our joint physician - nurse meetings that, in the past, were held in conjunction with a clinical trial group meeting held by a single pharmaceutical sponsor. We regret that this will not happen at the inaugural independent meeting in London in April 2007, since the available dates ended up being too close to the PENS meeting, and we were told that a full nursing program in London would not succeed in drawing a large participation; travel and work schedules would simply not permit attendance at both. But let's make up for it in 2008!
We hope that what we are building will appeal to our Canadian nursing colleagues from coast to coast to coast.
