Have you been trying to provide good care but it just seems like there are a million barriers? Do you want to provide better care to people who seem hardest to serve? Do you want to be more satisfied in your work? Do you want to have a bigger impact?
If you’re a health care or social service provider, staff member or leader in a health care organization, these modules are for you.
Watch Dr. Colleen Varcoe (PhD, RN), Professor in UBC’s School of Nursing, for a unique insight into how to deal with your frustration head-on. This video is 2.50 minutes long.
Integrating a health equity approach into the care you provide is a win-win-win:
- your clients, especially those facing the biggest challenges, will be better served
- you as the health care provider will deliver care that is more effective and acceptable, especially for your “complex” clients, and be more satisfied with your work
- your organization and the health care system will be better aligned with quality of care goals, and with a social justice approach
