CNA’s Primary Care Toolkit
The Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) supports nurses in family practice – both family practice nurses and nurse practitioners. In order to understand how nurses can be needed to their full potential in family practice/primary care setting, the CNA has developed its Primary Care Toolkit. This Toolkit highlights role disciplines for registered nurses in primary care, the benefits of a nurse in practice, business case options, and a guide for supporting collaborative teams that include family doctors and nurses working together.

The CNA’s Primary care Toolkit is at
