Learning Objectives

Our most pressing challenges in healthcare require focused, constructive discussions. Sharing openly and listening to diverse perspectives and experiences. At Healthcare Excellence Canada, we’ve developed the Spotlight Series to do just that.

It’s about connecting people to have conversations with a purpose. Responding quickly to current issues by featuring strategies for improvement that are transferable. We’ll explore solutions to make improvements last, as we work together to shape the future of quality and safety in healthcare across the country.

The need for interpreter services has never been greater. Good, clear, and accurate communication is essential in delivering exceptional care to any child or youth.  When families enter a healthcare organization and do not speak one of the official languages, they are often at their most vulnerable state. Organizations should have interpreter services that are accessible, and staff should be provided with the tools necessary to provide the highest quality interpreter services to their families. CHEO has recently expanded their interpreter services. The aim of this webinar is to share these new services and strategies. 

Many community workers support clients who want to apply for permanent resident status in Canada. One way to do this is by making a Humanitarian and Compassionate (H&C) application. An H&C is a request to apply for PR status from inside Canada that is based on all of the person’s circumstances.

This webinar will outline important details about the H&C process - who can apply and what supporting evidence community workers can help clients gather. Our speakers will also share resources, tips, and cautions about making an H&C application. 

 ASL Interpretation will be provided.
