Nurses. I count as friends, colleagues, leaders, researchers, academics. You are the backbone of the system and it would not work without your expertise, skill and dedication. Thank you for all that you do. #NursesWeek2024

Happy IDM2024! Recognizing Ontario midwives for their tireless dedication, compassion, and advocacy. Check out Midwifery by the Numbers: loom.ly/H15RHOA

As we celebrate #IDM2024 , let’s applaud midwives & advocate for the changes needed to ensure a sustainable future for midwifery & the 🌍. Join us to call for a future where continuity of midwife care is integral to climate-resilient health systems.

On this #IDM2024 , I’m grateful for my 28 years in this profession that centres clients, focuses on evidence, balances the science & art of healthcare, acknowledges the need for change & focuses on social justice. It’s also #RedDressDay . In that spirit #NoMoreStolenSisters

When most people think #midwife they think about someone assisting at a birth. Midwives do so much more. One area of midwifery that doesn't receive the attention it deserves is #research . Tag a midwifery researcher and send some love and gratitude their way!

First question I had when I saw this: Is he just a student or a TD bank employee? Turns out just a student. He should sue that garbage click bait 6 buzz. They made false claims that have caused him real damage. They are the real grifters. thestar.com/news/ontario/i…
