Every year on April 28, we gather to recognize the National Day of Mourning. On this day, we must take the time to mourn those who have been lost, and recommit to fighting for a safer, healthier Alberta for us all. Read FOM's statement: friendsofmedicare.org/day_of_mournin…
Who said it? Pierre Poilievre or Big Pharma? In his attacks on public pharmacare, the Conservative leader is copying verbatim the pharmaceutical industry’s talking points. WATCH:
The issue with these clinics is that while they purport to charge for uninsured services, they problematically mingle uninsured and insured services such that patients are also getting preferential access to the latter.

@PfParks @BrianFreed1 … wonder if this had anything to do with the lack of communication from Alberta Health on annual influenza vaccination this past fall?
@peng_dreamer Why are we not hearing from public health on this? Where are the communications plans? Not only for measles, in my 18 years working as an Ob here, this is the first time I have so many pregnant patients who didn't realize the flu vaccine was available to them in the fall.
This should be alarming for our province. Keep in mind for every death there are many more really sick and requiring hospital care. Vaccines work. cbc.ca/amp/1.7186261
“The work of nursing must be done with renewed attention to the safety of health care workers, their patients, their families and friends, and everyone who uses medical facilities in Alberta." - UNA President Heather Smith. #DayOfMourning #ableg reddeeradvocate.com/news/central-a…
#COVID19 has killed almost 60,000 Canadians to date. We deserve a transparent report into the overall effects, good and bad, of pandemic public-health measures, by @AntibioticDoc @BradenMannsYYC theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta… via @GlobeDebate
“With so many health care workers experiencing rising rates of violence in their own workplaces, addressing violence within health care is also increasingly urgent. Health care workers deserve to be safe when they show up to care for us.”
Every year on April 28, we gather to recognize the National Day of Mourning. On this day, we must take the time to mourn those who have been lost, and recommit to fighting for a safer, healthier Alberta for us all. Read FOM's statement: friendsofmedicare.org/day_of_mournin…
Which one is it @PierrePoilievre ? Despite once describing them as “crooked Big Pharma,” Poilievre has allied himself to their campaign against pharmacare. breachmedia.ca/pierre-poiliev…
Who said it? Pierre Poilievre or Big Pharma? In his attacks on public pharmacare, the Conservative leader is copying verbatim the pharmaceutical industry’s talking points. WATCH:
The issue with these clinics is that while they purport to charge for uninsured services, they problematically mingle uninsured and insured services such that patients are also getting preferential access to the latter.

Schools should not be extensions of the carceral system which disproportionately harms marginalized students. We need to try implementing preventative, emotionally supportive, community cohesion building programs in schools instead of deferring to surveillance & intimidation.
In less than a week, the Edmonton Public School Board will decide whether to re-establish armed police officers in our public schools. We need your help right now to make sure this doesn’t happen.

@MigrantRightsCA 📈 In 2023, 53% of people receiving financial and logistical assistance from Action Canada's Access Line were uninsured, undocumented, or had precarious migration status and faced major barriers to accessing abortion. 🌷 Migrant justice = reproductive justice!

Nurse practitioner deal announced...
Nurse practitioners to make 80% as much as family doctors for publicly-funded primary care edmonton.ctvnews.ca/nurse-practiti…
Potential quality of care concerns with NPs managing very complex patients. Ideally, the province would have come up with a plan to ensure those patients are seen by drs. Also, existing prohibitions on drs extra billing should be extended to nps working under this plan.
Concern this will exacerbate tensions between family drs and the province, given how generous NP compensation is relative to MD compensation and the less protracted nature of these negotiations compared to those with drs.
It is also unclear how this is going to make an immediate difference for the many Albertans without access to primary care. Are there currently a large number of NPs not already working full time who are waiting in the wings ready to open primary care clinics?
