NWT Clinical Practice Guidelines for Primary Community Care Nursing

Preamble

The NWT Clinical Practice Guidelines for Primary Community Care Nursing (NWT CPGs) are being updated on a chapter by chapter basis in partnership with First Nations and Inuit Health Branch of Indigenous Services Canada (FNIHB), and as part of a collaborative process between the Northwest Territories Health and Social Services Authority, the Tłı̨chǫ Community Services Agency, and the Department of Health and Social Services. 

The NWT Clinical Practice Guidelines for Primary Community Care Nursing (NWT CPGs) are now available as separate PDF chapters on the new NWT CPG webpage. The electronically published NWT CPGs will remain in effect as the standard of practice.  As chapters are updated, they will be uploaded to the website with the date of publication clearly indicated.

Prior to using the NWT CPGs:

  • Review the NWT CPG Introductory Chapter as it details the use of the NWT CPGs, and,
  • Ensure the regional authority employee orientation, including the requisite mandatory training, has been completed.

Feedback is encouraged and welcomed.

Appendix 1: Request for Addition/Deletion/Change provides the opportunity for users to submit requests for additions, deletions, or changes that are supported by research and evidence-based practices. All submissions will be reviewed for quality of evidence, gap/impact analysis, and the adaptability of the recommendation to the NWT context. 

Please email completed Appendix 1 forms to nursing@gov.nt.ca.
