Specialist Practice Networks

Specialist Practice Networks, also known as SPN's, are networks of CNSA members who work in specialty areas or have a common interest, such as radiation therapy or gynaeoncology. All members of CNSA are eligible to belong to an SPN.

Our SPNs are intended to help nurses in specialty areas to network with each other, and:

  • provide a forum for professional networking and collaboration
  • provide opportunities for educational and research activities
  • act as a point of reference for nursing practice issues
  • develop guidelines for specialty areas of cancer nursing practice; and
  • establish processes for peer review of evidenced-based practice.

All members of CNSA are eligible to belong to an SPN. If you wish to join a Specialist Practice Network please email [email protected]

We encourage you to get involved with these networks, and share resources and advice, ask questions of your peers, and build your knowledge.
