Island Health and local groups are urging North Cowichan to reconsider "uninhabitable" shelter sites in Somenos marsh.
Advocates warn that recent displacements are linked to health risks and a spike in overdoses. They’re calling for safer, accessible alternatives. #NorthCowichan #IslandHealth

#IslandHealth has been trying to shut down Port Alberni’s hospital for years. One more step towards it. And #NRGH is always over capacity & our ICU strained, so just more stress on the staff at NRGH.

What a massive failure by Comox Valley Hospital and @vanislandhealth.bsky.social.
Our health-care system needs to do better, and be better.

🇨🇦 Mental Health struggles increase demand for emergency medicine. Unfortunately, here in #BC, I have discovered that #NorthernHealth, #IslandHealth and most likely other #HealthAuthorities are preventing access to funded #MentalHeathServices by professionals in private practice.

Chronic pain needs better teaching. Daughter has pcos & endometriosis - she tries to deal at home. Bad days she wants to die.
No gyne will do a hyster on her bcz she’s 25. She has no quality of life and asks every Er visit.

“Your attempts to dissuade and suppress the public advocacy work of physicians demanding evidence-based, life-saving interventions will have harmful consequences for those patients most at risk.” #IslandHealth #Nanaimo #NanaimoRegionGeneralHospital #NRGH
Way to go #Islandhealth.
You're behaviour just cost us 3 doctors.
Do you want to help shape research into how and why health and healthcare for people living in different types of rural communities differs from those living in urban areas? Researchers are looking for people who live in rural and island communities in Scotland and who a) live with or have experienced cancer or a long-term rheumatic or musculoskeletal condition, or b) are over the age of 65 and have been hospitalized at least twice in the past two years, to be part of the Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement group for the BRUCES research project. Group members will be compensated for their time. https://bit.ly/BRUCESPPI
Researchers at Aberdeen Uni are looking for ppl in rural & island Scotland to help shape research into healthcare provision for specific medical conditions. Check out the link for more info on the project & how to get involved.
