Annemarie Larocque

I have been a registered nurse for 33 years with experience in Home Care and Long Term Care. I have been a Team Leader, Manager of Clinical Practice as well as a facilitator for Wounds Canada.

I began my journey specializing in wound care around 2005.  To further my education, knowledge, skill and ability, I obtained my IIWCC (International, Intraprofessional Wound Care Course certification in 2010 and then the SWAN designation in 2023.

I am passionate about providing the best care possible for those I care for along with teaching, supporting and mentoring fellow nurses.

I am married, mother of 3, and Oma of 4.  Along with my passion for nursing, I have been a volunteer with a local air cadet squadron for the past 13+ years supporting our youth.  In my spare time I enjoy spending time with family, friends, gardening as well as drumming in Pipe and Drum Bands.

I am honoured to have been selected for the community of practice leader position and am looking forward to continuing my learning while providing leadership, teaching, support and mentorship for upcoming SWANs.
