St Oswald's Hospice Research’s Post

Kathleen Ross This is not true statement that you have limited number of health care workers. Your health system is descriminating with IMG’s. You have many IMG’s who passed LMCC and worked as General Practitioners in back home for years but here you are ready to add them in system even when patients are dying in emergency rooms without treatment. Your IMG’s are working as Clinical Assisstant in many provinces and handling energencies/ active and primary care but after years there is no promise to them for independent license. You are allowing NP and PA to practice independently in rural areas but no for IMG’s. You have opened PRO/ PRA programs but just an eye wash as lot of barriers for IMG’s. Post graduation in family medicine is one of the criteria in PRO but this is introduce very late in Asian countries as After MBBS these IMG’s are considered as General Practitioners in back home and work same like FP here. You can open some bridging programs for 6 month for these IMG’s with LMCC registration and assess and train them for independent practice under limited license for 1-2 years and then promote to full license. Those who are working as CA in hospitals are very well trained in canadian healthcare system but they are ignored.

A team based approach to #healthcare is fine as long as it does not involve de-skilling and/or lead to the privatization of healthcare. More private clinics in the healthcare paradigm can not be tolerated.

In this session, Professor Ashby will discuss: 🔷 The successes and challenges of the international palliative care movement, with a focus on access and quality of care. 🔷 The pressing need to develop palliative approaches for the frail elderly and younger patients with chronic diseases, especially those with advanced dementia. 🔷 The complexities of treatment abatement in an overstressed and risk-averse healthcare system, and the ongoing medico-legal and policy debates surrounding adequate sedation for Behavioural and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia. 🔷 The relationship between Voluntary Assisted Dying pathways and palliative care programs, and the need for cooperation to maintain the relevance of palliative care services. 🔷 The impact of advance directives and the potential for innovative public health approaches to death acceptance.

As we approach an upcoming contentious election, civic engagement has never been more important. With all we know about social determinants and the influence of politics on healthcare (especially with issues like COVID-19 and reproductive care being deeply polarizing), physicians ought to have a forefront role in health advocacy. Excited to share our latest in JAMA, "Reported Political Participation by Physicians vs Nonphysicians," with Anthony Zhong, Alister Martin, Cancan Zhang, Russ Phillips, and Maëlys Amat, MD, MBA! We find that physicians are not significantly more likely to report various types of political participation than non-physicians — which is all the more important why organizations such as A Healthier Democracy, Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), and American Medical Association do their work to better engage healthcare professionals in these issues.

This week is Palliative Care Week and that gives us the ability to focus on some important issues. The ANZSPM RRIPM project team , with input from various colleges, the National Rural Health Alliance, and Palliative Care Australia, have produced the ‘Beyond the Burbs’, which has reinforced the need for a Rural and Remote Institute of Palliative Medicine to increase training opportunities and grow the rural workforce. Over 7 million Australians, almost 30% of the population, live in rural communities. However, there are significant disparities in the kind of palliative care that is available in different geographic locations. One of the reasons is that only 16% of the specialist palliative medicine workforce live and work in rural and regional areas. We need to change that.

Today I am presenting some preliminary findings of the PADRe project at the 2024 Faculty of Health, Medicine and Social Care Conference. Some key lines of enquiry will be highlighted and I will be setting out research priorities for the next 3-5 years. #OneWelfare #AssistanceDogs

In this invited comment, prompted by a recent study published in EJVES that explored the very high treatment costs associated with reinterventions after failed femoropopliteal stentning, dr Menard and I discuss the results from this paper, and what we might do about this moving forward. It is of crucial importance for our vascular community to better understand the complex and often hidden costs patterns arising from reinterventions and other adjunct therapies during the treatment pathway of CLTI patients. Solid and unbiased knowledge about the long-term results of the initial intervention we decide to offer a PAD patient is of outmost importance to mitigate unfavorable downstream cost patterns and undesired reinterventions that add burden om both patients and health care systems already struggling with resources. https://lnkd.in/d6EvGCqr https://lnkd.in/dFmhqSjH
