Such a lovely evening. Wonderful to see everyone.
The @SEHealth_SEHC Senior team gathered for our summer social. Look who came to dinner: my predecessor @ShirleeSharkey. Taking over the reins from an iconic CEO is never easy but Shirlee made the transition seamless and positioned me for success! #successionplanning

National #LTCstandards fall short of addressing staffing issues — RNAO is also disappointed the federal gov't failed to make these standards mandatory, leaving in place patchwork approaches across and within provinces and territories. Media release: https://t.co/OsYB31AE4m

Canadians have difficulty accessing specialists. This is one of the main reasons people head to the ER. Wait times could be reduced with e-referral. It would give Ministries awareness of needs in the system. It’s cheap, available and could be implemented now. @drbobbell

All levels of govt will need to come to the table. Professionals shouldn’t be valued based on where they work. All of us need to speak up. @ShirleeSharkey

Long term care isn’t just about beds. The 1.2% of GDP is the lowest spent in the OECD countries. By tweaking the funding models, we can turn on a dime. @ShirleeSharkey
