Parent as Expert, Nurse as Advocate: Partnering with Parents in the Shared Enterprise

Presenter: Chrissy Salley, PhD

Parents of children with medical complexity are not passive recipients of care they are seasoned experts on their child's unique medical needs, communication patterns, and quality-of-life priorities. This webinar explores the powerful potential of reframing the nurse–parent relationship as a collaborative partnership, one in which parental knowledge is recognized as a clinical asset and nurses step fully into their role as advocates. Hear from experienced parents how nurses can build trust, elevate parents’ voices, and deliver care that is not only medically sound but also deeply aligned with the values and lived experiences of the families they serve.

Outcome: 85% of the participants will identify at least two strategies for enacting the nurse-as-advocate role that honors parental expertise based on the knowledge gained from the webinar
Continuing Education:  Society of Pediatric Nurses is accredited as a provider of nursing continuing professional development by the American Nurses Credentialing Center's Commission on Accreditation
