As far as I'm concerned, I can say yes. However, that has not changed much to date. We try to bring up these issues in every possible forum.
There is a lack of vision with respect to what we call the scope of practice, whether it be for nurses, doctors or others, throughout Canada. We can effect change little by little, and that is what I am trying to do in my own sector, in Calgary. I do this one day at a time, one unit at a time. The fact remains, however, that at this rate bringing about change at the national level will take centuries.
I feel we need to adopt a Canada-wide vision and start discussing the roles of our health care providers. We have to envision changes that can be made on a broad scale, so that this happens earlier rather than later. In my opinion, this is very important.
