When we talk about drug poisoning or “overdose” we often think of either surviving or dying. However, we tend to forget that many who survive can live with neurological disabilities. Harm reduction, safe supply and safe consumption sites are part of reducing disability. #IOAD2024

The Doug Ford government had a chance to end Ontario's health-care staffing crisis on June 5. Instead, they chose to defeat Bill 192, which would have mandated nurse-patient staffing ratios across the province. Why are they against nurse-patient staffing ratios? #onpoli

In Healthy Debate, RNAO member & Canada's Chief Nurse Leigh Chapman RN PhD writes that nursing is #HarmReduction. "By embracing and embodying a harm reduction approach, we can save lives, support our health-care system and provide compassionate, evidence-based care to those who need it

“President of the Harm Reduction Nurses Association Corey Ranger says the four overdoses in the small community of Metchosin were a preventable tragedy. He spoke with CBC Victoria's Rohit Joseph.” #bcpoli cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

🚨ATTENTION EVERYONE: Ontario's plan to close supervised consumption sites is a triumph of ideology over health care. ➡️Join our call & help keep these sites open to save lives: RNAO.ca/policy/action-… #SayYesToSCS Doris Grinspun RN, PhD LLD(hon),Dr(hc), FAAN,O.ONT Lhamo Dolkar Claudette Holloway
