Esther Green - RN MSc

Provincial Head of Nursing & Psychosocial Oncology - Cancer Care Ontario

I had the privilege to sit down with Esther Green, who is working at Cancer Care Ontario. We had a great discussion on how she came to her role and what she is doing there. She brings up interesting insights into how she is integrating research on advanced practice nursing, recruitment and retention and patient safety in her current role.
