During our conversations during our meeting yesterday, we touched on a very important topic worth discussing further. What are your thoughts on voluntourism? "Health work overseas needs to take into account strengthening the health system for the community as a whole and for the long-run, and not just providing immediate bandaid solutions for a handful of individual patients." http://www.abc.net.au//negin-and-martiniuk---volun/4064550

We're excited to see you tonight at our general meeting! We're in room 7079 at St Michael's Hospital!

Our very own Isolde will be speaking at our Fall GM next week on the topic of homelessness and poverty related to health! Please come out and join us in conversation about the role that we as nurses have on this issue. Dinner provided! See you there!
