What is the importance of advanced education and training in the delivery of services in Long Term Care?I.M. Healthcare providers, whether in emergency care, long term care, or home care roles are working in an ever changing environment. There needs to be both recognition of this as well as accommodations built into the workplace that promote and encourage life long learning and skills improvement for those in the healthcare sector.

There is a greater demand on the psychosocial knowledge and skill sets required for all of our Healthcare workers in the current industry due to the multiple diagnosis and prognosis of residents. What is the importance of advanced education and training in this respect. Always Event/Experience in person centered care.I.M. We cannot continue to allow mental health to be the “forgotten” aspect of healthcare. That must include providing ongoing training and skills development which provides healthcare workers with both a broad based understanding of “cultural care” as well as recognizing the signs of mental health issues and skills to deal with those additional challenges.

NDP Caucus Chair & Critic for Seniors Issues. P. What is the importance of government strategy in improving the training and skill set of healthcare workers, particularly in light of the ongoing demands placed on them by society?I.M. It is vital that a comprehensive national healthcare strategy is used as the guide to delivering healthcare services because of the increasingly complex nature of care delivery. A national strategy must of course allow for flexibility in local service delivery. Service in Toronto is of course going to look different than service in a small community like St. Mary’s or Dresden for example. But an overall strategy is important to set out a balanced approach to hospitals care, home care, long term care, with a clear set of standards of care to be met. A health strategy must also include promoting healthy living, incorporate meeting the needs of those suffering with dementia, and a pharmacare strategy to ensure that prescription drug costs are not a barrier to peoples’ health.
