“L’épuisement du personnel de la santé est directement lié à une mauvaise planification des effectifs” écrit Ivy Lynn Bourgeault, professeure à l’ècole des études sociologique et anthropologiques de l’Université d’Ottawa.
THE PANDEMIC EXPOSES CRITICAL GAPS IN OUR HEALTH WORKFORCE PLANNING
Burnout was far too common in the healthcare workforce before the pandemic. COVID-19 has made it much worse. Poor health workforce planning is to blame.
HEALTH-WORKER DEATHS FROM COVID-19 NOT JUST ABOUT THE NUMBERS
Health workers across the country and around the world are on the front lines of the novel coronavirus pandemic. So, it is curious why it has taken more than six months to have any official or authoritative numbers of the deaths of health-care workers from COVID-19 in Canada.
Canada’s system of long-term care was a powder keg; COVID-19 the spark that set it alight. As the virus overtook nursing and care homes across the country, we began to hear about the outdated facilities and the population unable to advocate for itself.
