About the Edmonton Nursing Research Luncheon 2024
This signature fundraising event directly impacts healthcare by supporting Alberta’s Registered Nurses and Nurse Practitioners in their continuing education and research pursuits. At this popular and typically sold-out event, guests can expect an exceptional meal, networking, and inspirational speakers. Showcasing examples of Nursing Research, healthcare innovation, and technology.
Research Presentations Guests will be introduced to some of our Nurse Researchers as they give short presentations on the impact these ARNET funded projects are making to healthcare.
Lunch A delicious catered lunch will be served so bring your appetite. The buffet lunch will offer vegetarian and gluten free options.
Networking There will be opportunities for networking at the event with our 160 attendees, and presenters.
Our Community Finally, your support of this event will translate directly to ARNET supporting research undertaken by RNs that would otherwise go unfunded and new life-saving interventions that could otherwise go undiscovered.

Meet our Speakers
The MEDi-Kids Study
Patricia Candelaria, RN (left) and Dr. Samina Ali (right) are researching ways to lessen children’s fear in pediatric emergency waiting rooms using a humanoid robot called MEDi. ARNET is funding this research which will be presented at the luncheon. One of many exciting speakers.
Patricia is registered nurse and is the Program Manager of the Pediatric Emergency: Advancing Knowledge (PEAK) Research Team at the University of Alberta. With her mentor, Dr. Samina Ali, Professor of Pediatrics and Research Director, they have developed a study using a humanoid robot, specifically programmed to deliver brief, psychology-based interventions and distraction, to improve children’s experiences in the ED waiting room. The robot will distract children with music and dance and engage the child in guided relaxation techniques without any direct touch (minimizing infection risks).
