Today we are announcing the theme of Health Month for 2018, which will run from May 1 to 31. Speak with your local team to find out about the activities in your institution.

The Health Minister and FIQ President revealed the list of the 10 other institutions that will soon be running safe healthcare professional-to-patient ratio pilot projects.

Healthcare professionals from Abitibi-Témiscamingue demonstrated outside the Rouyn-Noranda hospital centre to denounce the attitude of the CISSS in their region as well as the painfully slow negotiations with the government.

On April 19, members of the FIQ in Outaouais mobilized at the region’s CISSS’s Board of Directors’ meeting in order to denounce the slow negotiations.

Healthcare professionals in the Laurentians region took the opportunity to remind Minister Barrette that local negotiations are at a standstill.

On April 10, the FIQ welcomed a delegation from the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s professional nursing order.

At the last Provincial Council, we presented an action plan for healthcare professional-to-patient ratios that extends up until the next collective agreement.
