Nurses possess distinct competencies that align with primary care initiatives - yet their integration remains inconsistent. British Columbia's Nursing Initiatives for Primary Care (NIPC) program addresses this gap. Developed in partnership with the British Columbia Ministry of Health and Nurses and Nurse Practitioners of British Columbia, NIPC supports the integration of registered nurses and licensed practical nurses employed by family practices. By providing a structured professional practice framework that includes clinical consultation, education, mentorship and a facilitated online community, NIPC ensures that nurses are well-supported to work to their full scope and demonstrates how policy alignment and targeted professional supports can unlock the full value of nurses.
