The 10-year ChildCareBC plan commits to adding capacity for regional health authorities to license, monitor and investigate #childcare facilities. We have two audits coming up in 2025 related to how that commitment has been implemented. https://lnkd.in/gz3c6WBH #BCpoli #BC

Children’s healthcare systems in Canada have been underfunded for decades. The 2020 UNICEF Report Card 16 highlighted that, at 1.68% of GDP, Canada’s investments in child and youth health and well-being trail countries like France, the United Kingdom, and Sweden, which invest up to 3.68% of their GDP. Join us in calling for national leadership to build healthcare systems fit for kids. #WeCANforKids https://bit.ly/46f7JQ8

On September 23, CFNU launched its latest research report, ‘Opening the black box: Unpacking the use of nursing agencies in Canada.’   In it, the report revealed a ‘black box’ where public money is being poured into for-profit nursing agencies with very little oversight or reporting of how funds are being used. Based on the available data, over $1.5 billion public health dollars are projected to be paid out to agencies in the 2023-24 fiscal year.   According to our analysis of the report, there are a few things to note.   First, of the approximately 600 nurses working for agencies surveyed for this report, roughly 22.7% of respondents were from Manitoba (second only to Ontario at 32.8%).   Second, Manitoba has reported the second-highest number of different agencies being used, after only Quebec, which has recently passed legislation to eliminate agency usage by 2026.    And lastly, the report projected for the 2023/24 fiscal year, that Manitoba would spend about $60 million on agencies. In fact, the actual total was $77.5 million.   Imagine what $77.5 million could do to reinvigorate the public healthcare system that is so desperately in need of repair.

📢 November Presentation Recap: Adapting Digital Competencies for Canada’s Public Health Workforce At this year’s BC Centre for Disease Control Research Week, we presented findings from our study: “Adapting Digital Competencies & Training for Canada’s Public Health Workforce: Canadian Public Health Practitioners’ Perspective.” 💡 Key Takeaways: 1️⃣ Evolving Systems and Foundational Skills: Public health systems must evolve to support digital competencies, starting with strengthening foundational public health skills and integrating digital literacy across existing curricula. 2️⃣ Specialization with Flexibility: While general digital competencies are essential, specialized roles and training should be available to address emerging needs, with hands-on, real-world learning at the core. 📍 Next Steps: Explore faculty perspectives on integrating digital competencies into public health practice. Develop systems-focused training approaches that bridge gaps between public health and digital disciplines. This work highlights the importance of preparing Canada’s public health workforce for the future, where ethical, equitable, and effective use of digital technologies will play a pivotal role. A big thank you to everyone who engaged with our presentation and provided thoughtful feedback! #PublicHealth #DigitalCompetencies #WorkforceDevelopment #HealthEquity #BCCDCResearchWeek
