June is National Indigenous History Month, a time to recognize Indigenous strength and confront inequities, discrimination, and gaps in Canadian healthcare systems.

Change requires action. At the @CAEPConference in Winnipeg, EM researchers and frontline leaders are bringing data and lived experiences to the forefront.

See slide 2 for featured sessions.

Building a more equitable healthcare system means showing up for the difficult conversations and carrying these lessons back to our departments.

Patients assessed in chairs. Examinations conducted in waiting rooms. Care delivered in hallways, closets, and other unconventional spaces.

As overcrowding and access block continue to strain emergency departments across Canada, "chair care" is becoming an increasingly common reality. While clinicians work tirelessly to identify critically ill patients and provide care wherever possible, many warn that these workarounds are a symptom of a broader health system crisis.

“This is just a Band-Aid on a massive, gaping wound.”

We asked our staff to describe emergency medicine in 3 words and this is what they said on the Emergency Medicine Day🚨🏥🚑💙

"It is time for a renewed effort to reduce the incidence and severity of violence in EDs in Canada."
Five years after @CAEP_Docs published its first position paper on violence in Emergncy Departments and the lack of progress since.
Proud to have participated in this pos'n stmt.

Emergency department violence is escalating and reflects a system-wide safety crisis.

CAEP's updated position statement outlines clear, evidence-informed strategies for prevention and mitigation.

"We join EUSEM and all World EM Day supporters in demanding an end to violence and abuse in emergency care settings. Whether in a local emergency department or a conflict zone, every healthcare professional deserves respect and protection".

@CAEP_Docs

[alan drummond @alandrummond2]

"As we mark World EM Day, we recognise the incredible resilience of emergency care teams operating under the most challenging conditions. Yet, their courage shouldn't come at the cost of their safety".
#EmergencyMedicineDay

[alan drummond @alandrummond2]

On this #EmergencyMedicineDay it must be said that Canadian hospitals must end the culture of silence regarding violence in the ER and be held directly accountable for providing us a safe space.

Thank you @CMA_Docs for honouring me with this year’s award for political advocacy, and for all the important national advocacy this organization does. 🇨🇦 🍁

[CAEP @CAEP_Docs]

Emergency departments across Canada are seeing rising abuse, threats, harassment and assault directed at health care workers.

Violence is not part of the job. It is unacceptable – and preventable.

This International Emergency Medicine Day, the Canadian Association of Emergency Physicians, Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions, and National Emergency Nurses Association are calling for a national approach to violence prevention that protects patients, nurses, physicians, paramedics, and all health care workers.

Canada already has a roadmap. The 2019 HESA report recommended:

• A national public awareness campaign
• A pan-Canadian framework to prevent violence in health care
• National standardized data collection on workplace violence

It’s time to act on those recommendations.

#InternationalEmergencyMedicineDay #EndViolenceInHealthCare

[CAEP @CAEP_Docs]

Violence against healthcare workers in Emergency Medicine continues to rise worldwide, and global leaders are coming together to address it.
