📱☎️ The Canadian Federation of Nurses Unions is launching their annual national nurse survey next week. They will be working with Viewpoints Research to conduct the survey, as they have in past years, and the survey is set to run from January 19 to February 6. This national survey builds on CFNU's past research and helps them advocates for better working conditions and patient care. Some UNA members will be contacted for the survey and UNA encourages our members in Alberta to participate.

Dr. Paul Parks, the president-elect of the section of emergency medicine with the Alberta Medical Association, is calling for the provincial government to declare a state of emergency at the urging of physicians from across the province and across hospital divisions.

“It’s gotten to a crisis state where patients are dying in our waiting rooms and patients are having very bad outcomes because it’s unsafe,” he said in an interview on Thursday.

As an example of this, Parks spoke about a situation in Edmonton this week where two patients were waiting for many hours in an emergency room offload waiting area — one for almost 72 hours and another for more than 48 hours — to be admitted.

“We need to declare it is a crisis — and tell us who’s publicly going to lead this response, who’s going to lead our provincial-wide disaster response-type team and help our teams get back to a semblance of safe and timely emergency and hospital care,” he said.
