The BC Healthcare Collaborative Group is proud to host our first Workplace Health, Safety and Wellness Conference in Kelowna, BC on September 17-18, 2007.
This year’s theme is “Beyond Compliance to Competitive Necessity.” There are many realities facing healthcare workers and employers today – an aging workforce, workload concerns, work/home life balance, diminishing human resources, increased sickness due to mental health concerns as well as rising work related injuries causally related to patient handling, aggressive behaviour and communicable diseases. The conference will emphasize the following themes within healthcare: Workplace Safety, Prevention and Promotion, Disability Management, Ergonomics, Safe Patient Handling, Occupational Hygiene, Workplace Violence and Aggression, Workplace Mental Health and Addiction, Occupational Exposure to Infectious Diseases. The program will include a series of papers, workshops and posters. Our goal is to highlight current and emerging research on best practices specific to the healthcare workforce and environment. Intended outcomes include sharing of information which focuses on the contribution of health, safety and wellness of workers engaged in providing quality patient care. We extend a warm welcome to you and your colleagues to share in this exciting conference.
