The new ideas were generated by front line staff of hospitals, community clinics and residential housing. Staff included nurses, mental health workers, and addictions workers. Many of our supervisors and leaders were also present. Much of what was discussed, and will be developed, will call on our honesty and humility about our roles in our various health care settings. The program being learned over these three days is Releasing Time to Care. I’ll be telling you more about this over the next two days. Suffice it to say that, any data that is generated will be specific to those of us on the front lines.
So, today was really not much different except for the amount of exercise. We made time to exercise. Not part of the conference agenda, it was part of the agenda for myself and colleagues. At the end of today, over 140 minutes (that’s two hours and twenty minutes), mostly walking, had been completed. After lunch, it involved walking for a shopping trip, then out to supper. Not just down the street but striding out to the Sky Train and again through Little India to a local restaurant for Indian cuisine. Oh, and then it was a walk back!Releasing time for the education exercise of mind, body and spirit!
“Lost time is never found again.”
