Just want to say thank you to my Policy and Decision Making class and @Mayysam for a great semester! It was lovely to engage with and learn from all of you, cheers to our next endeavours! #MED6288 #MPH

As health care professionals, we should take every opportunity to learn how to incorporate inclusive language into our practice. We should also listen to the experiences of trans folk who interact with the healthcare system. We have a lot of learning and improving to do. #MED6288

[Rebecca Druken @rebeccca_d]

#TDOV2023 I will always advocate for better health care for trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming folks. Gender-affirming care should be a part of universal access to healthcare in Canada and beyond #MED6288

[Rebecca Druken @rebeccca_d]

Healthcare professionals and government should never invalidate the experience of another person. Trans rights should not be up for debate. Trans rights are human rights. #MED6288

[Rebecca Druken @rebeccca_d]

Working in a broken health care system is both physically and mentally draining. We want better for our patients. Long-term solutions to the issues in our health care system are needed now #MED6288 #BeyondBrokenNL @GovNL

[RNUNL @RNU_NL]

Our health care system is #BeyondBrokenNL but it's not beyond repair.

Gov must act now to stabilize nursing & protect patient care. This means doing everything we can to retain RNs, create safer & healthier working conditions & improve access to leave.

This video highlights the political discourse surrounding healthcare for queer folks. Barriers for queer folk are often due to the discriminatory standpoint of politicians who believe they have the right to govern someone else’s body #MED6288 https://t.co/44IS9VlhjS

New buildings and infrastructure are nothing without the proper Human Resources to manage them. We need to address the human resource shortage across Canada in order to deliver adequate care to our aging population. #MED6288 #HealthCareCrisis

[NL NDP Caucus @NLNDPCaucus]

Dinn isn’t sure if the government has the stomach to address the social determinants of health, “because they’re not as glamorous as the announcement of a new St. Clare’s or the new cardiac care centre.”

@meta201012 This also puts Canada further behind for achieving the calls of the truth and reconciliation act. #MED6288 #HealthEquity

[Rebecca Druken @rebeccca_d]

@juliaylli They are completely moving away from primary prevention. #MED6288

[Rebecca Druken @rebeccca_d]

Ontario keeps moving further and further away from equitable health care for marginalized groups. Very upsetting to see these changes being made so quickly #MED6288 #OntarioPoli #Accessibility

[Saadia Sediqzadah @Saadia_Sediq]

Since I started my career in 2020, I’ve had the peace of mind of treating anyone walking through my clinic door. To see it end abruptly with no extension or modifications is just cruel.

If the province takes better, more sustainable initiatives to address the nursing shortage, surgical backlogs will be addressed too. The RNU president recently indicated that the #1 cause of the surgical backlog in the province is related to the nursing shortage #MED6288

At the very least I hope it improves health communication across the island. It is so important for health information to be easily accessed and communicated to achieve patient-centred care #MED6288

VOCM Question of the Day — Do you think the merger of the four health authorities into one come April 1 will result in better health care for NL?

Additionally, this initiative can alleviate the burden on emergency departments. #MED6288 #HealthCrisis

[Rebecca Druken @rebeccca_d]

This is a fantastic initiative to allow all individuals to have better continuity of care. We often don’t realize the barriers that people face when trying to access health care #MED6288 #UniversalHealthCare https://t.co/gnQT2vFuVG

[Rebecca Druken @rebeccca_d]

@meta201012 @MedCouncilCan @CFPC_e I think this is definitely something we forget, since there are so many health care systems that are struggling. The health crisis is certainly a global concern #MED6288

[Rebecca Druken @rebeccca_d]

This is a terrible misuse of funding allocation. This money SHOULD be used to help support those experiencing homelessness, rather than ostracizing them from society all together #EndHomelessness #TakeAction #DoBetter #TOpoli #MED6288

[Diana Chan McNally @DianaCMcNally]

The @cityoftoronto is set to award a contract for private security patrol parks for unhoused people. The cost of the this in year one? $2,440,160. This is a cost in addition to $48 mil for police, $53 mil for #TTC special constables, $1.7 mil/month for 80 police on #TTC ...

We are so lucky to have such wonderful advocacy groups here in NL. How do you think the rights of Sex Workers can be improved in this province and across Canada? #SexWorkIsWork #WorkersRights #MED6288

[Quadrangle NL @TheQuadNL]

Today March 3rd is International Sex Worker Rights Day

We stand with @sexworkoutreach and the amazing work they do in supporting sex workers here in Newfoundland and Labrador.
