Breakout Session
Respect the Individual and Individualize the Care
2025, Nanaimo 2025

October 15 @ 12:45pm to 1:05pm

We strive to provide person centred care – and no one is better at doing this than healthcare assistants. You strive to address needs in the moment – sometimes with little time and few resources. In this short session, Kath will share a few stories about healthcare assistants who exemplify this idea of person centred care. Bring your stories with you, and celebrate your hearts and hands.
