In response to the current effect of COVID-19, QCHF’s top priority is to help you prevent the virus from entering your facility given the high risk of our residents.

With this in mind, QCHF has decided to move the DON/Nurse Leadership Training to a virtual setting. You will be able to attend the training from the comfort of your home and or office. The web-based training will be occur in real time and will require a laptop/computer and Wi-Fi.

Virtual training experiences will happen in real time on the date and time advertised. They will require a Wi-Fi connection, a laptop/computer and/or a smartphone. For the best experience, we highly encourage you to participate in a distraction-free environment.
