Great session on adult immunization with @DrVivienBrown & valuable morning of learning with @SinaiGeriatrics #TGUC2023
Thank you @CMAJ_Open!
Despite their collective trauma, the outcomes of the study reveal that clinicians expressed pride in their work and highlighted important strategies and innovations to improve palliative care in LTC homes.
@MacPalCare @OnLTCC @HPCOntario
The pandemic had a considerable impact on clinicians caring for residents in long-term care homes at the end of life; 7 LTC physicians and 5 NPs were interviewed between August and September of 2021 ➡️ cmajopen.ca/lookup/doi/10.97…

A personal QR code to access patient medical history/ chart would be a dream come true for #LTC (all) physicians!
Decades of valuable health information is missing when most needed.

A wife has started this petition in honor of her husband, an intern who recently died by suicide. It asks for structural changes to the program. A look at this short list highlights how absurd and abusive medical training can be, and how far we have to go: change.org/p/chase-smith-res…

We need strong solutions to tackle this primary care problem. Many are outlined below in a @CFPJournal article by @UofTFamilyMed @RickGlazier1 that is well worth reading and sharing (see 🧵). @DrMichaelGreen1 @tara_kiran @OCFP_President @OntarioCollege @CFPC_e @cfpcceo @AlikaMD
Cross cultural knowledge exchange about End-of-Life is not only necessary for quality #PalliativeCare but all person-centred & #healthcare reform.
Would love to be in that class!
Gave a lecture in the global ethics class of @RobertKlitzman.

I received exceptional, compassionate care throughout my #breastcancer journey. Thank you @grhospitalkw @StMarysGenHosp @_CMHospital - your teams are extraordinary. 💕 – at Cambridge, Ontario
We are proud to partner in our regional cancer program that allows patients to receive care close to home. Ellyn Winters-Robinson @ellynjane recently shared her breast cancer journey with GRH, @StMarysGenHosp, & @_CMHospital.

This paper written in collaboration with @WholeLab and colleagues during #COVID19 provides a much more accurate & actually helpful understanding of the challenges faced by providers & patients alike than the media's divisive reporting.

It is safe, tolerable, and beneficial to get the #fluvaccine and #covidvaccine at the same time this fall!
From Dr. Allison McGeer, ID, @OnLTCC #PPLTC22
The cost of not keep up with vaccine boosters is too high individually and systemically. Pandemic fatigue & lack of public awareness of the science behind boosters is making many hesitant to get their booster shot.

Super grateful to have known Dr. @fred_mather as a colleague and mentor who exemplifies serving and leading with dedication, humility and visionary thinking! Well deserved indeed!
@OnLTCC #PPLTC22
Well deserved special recognition award to Dr. Fred Mather, past president of OLTCC. He has been a beacon for us all. Congratulations @fred_mather @OnLTCC #PPLTC22
