Evaluating a nurse-led health policy summit for stakeholder engagement and policy discussion

Engaging stakeholders in healthcare policy is crucial, and nurses play a vital role in the development and advancement of healthcare policy.

The 2024 program received favorable evaluation ratings for the live event.
