The Canadian Nurses Protective Society (CNPS®) is a not-for-profit society that offers legal advice, risk management services, legal assistance and professional liability protection related to nursing practice to eligible Registered Nurses.

CNPS is:

• the Canadian nursing profession's own legal support system
• a not-for-profit society created and operated by nurses for nurses
• specifically tailored to meet the professional liability needs of registered nurses in all nursing roles
• occurrence-based: registered nurses can seek assistance from the CNPS® in respect of any incident arising from nursing practice that occurred while they were members of a CNPS® member organization, irrespective of when a claim arising from this incident is made or a civil action is commenced.
