The Coalition will be comprised of nurses, doctors, PSWs, unions, colleges and universities, public health, patients, Indigenous peoples and equity-deserving communities. Initial priorities will include:

  • Providing advice on workers’ retention so health workers continue to stay in their jobs;
  • Increasing the supply of health professionals in the country;
  • Improving health workforce data; and
  • Opportunities to scale new models of care to address barriers.
