Petition body
The provincial government must take immediate action to alleviate workloads by increasing staffing levels of medical technologists and technicians. A recent study shows that medical technologists and technicians are facing crushing workloads and understaffing. This is about patient care. Medical technologists and technicians are under pressure to provide safe, accurate, high quality, and timely results to physicians and their patients. Patients’ health is at risk if there is a mistake on a blood test or if a critical diagnosis is delayed because of workload or equipment failure. Our government needs to invest in more frontline staff and ensure there is a long term recruitment and retention plan to replace medical technologists and technicians who are nearing retirement. We ask that the government consult with frontline medical technologists and technicians, and develop a plan to increase the number of medical technologists and technicians in our public health care system so that we can provide safe and quality care to patients.
When you sign this petition an email with the following text will be sent to the targets of this particular campaign. You may customize this text.
