SUMMARY:The Leader’s Role: Forging New Paths for Racial and Health Equity
DESCRIPTION:Organized by Center to Advance Palliative Care \nThe first six months of 2020 have presented unprecedented challenges to palliative care program leaders\, first with the COVID-19 pandemic\, and then with much-needed attention to racial injustice. Those two intersect when one considers the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on people of color. \nThis webinar\, part of CAPC’s leadership series\, tackles the subject of how palliative care leaders can reassess and strengthen their program’s response to racial inequity. Panelists will discuss how to understand and identify organizational issues and constructs related racism. They will outline actions\, big or small\, that programs and individuals can take to dismantle racism and promote health equity\, and invite participants to contribute ideas to this timely discussion. \nPresented by: Betty Ferrell\, Michael Fratkin\, Tammy Kang\, Sherika Newman\, Donna W. Stevens\, Jeanne Sheils Twohig \nAvailable for CAPC Members. To login and register click here.

SUMMARY:N95 Fit Testing
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by SafeCare BC \nWe understand that fit-testing services for N95 respirators have become more scarce in some areas due to the pandemic and that this is a challenge for some of our members. We want to ensure that care settings that wish to fit-test their staff – for example\, so that care staff can perform aerosol-generating medical procedures\, or as preparedness for possible airborne pathogens or other respiratory hazards – can continue to do so. SafeCare BC is therefore offering two pilot fit-testing sessions in partnership with Mountainview Safety Services. This is not a Train-the-Trainer session\, it is an opportunity for staff to be fit-tested. \nThese sessions will take place on November 3rd and 4th in the SafeCare BC Training Centre in Burnaby. Fit-testing will be provided on these days at a reduced cost of $10 per person. If you have any questions\, please contact Jenni Cannon at jcannon@safecarebc.ca. \nTo register for this workshop\, please visit the Learning Space. \nTo complete registration: \n\nSign up for an account\,\nSelect N95 Fit Testing\,\nSelect a 30-minute session time slot that works best for you. Sessions are limited to four people\,\nEnroll!
