In partnership with NOSM University (NOSM U), Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre conducted a full-day Allied Health Preceptor Workshop on May 1, 2024. The purpose of this workshop was to support preceptorship and ensure that health professionals feel prepared to support students throughout the organization.
NOSM U presented four topics from their preceptor development series. Topics ranged from dealing with a struggling learner to providing effective feedback.
This in-person event was the first since COVID-19 and brought together various professionals across the hospital. More than 20 disciplines attended the day’s sessions with fifty-nine attendees. Though the material is available for viewing online at any time, (see link below) the workshop gave a rare opportunity to have various disciplines network with peers and contribute to the advancement of preceptorship in healthcare education.
Feedback from staff was very positive and the Interprofessional Education Team will look to partner with NOSM U again. One participant stated, “…I loved that we had people from many disciplines, I feel that it really added to the breadth of knowledge that came together today.”
The Sexual Assault and Domestic Violence (SADV) Treatment Centre at Thunder Bay Regional Health Science Centre received a very generous donation from Faye Peterson House. This donation included 50 backpacks full of essential supplies including: T-shirt, pants, bra, underwear, sweatshirt, shampoo/conditioner and body wash, hair brush, toothbrush and toothpaste, notebook, scrunchie, sandals, socks and smudge kits. We are very grateful to have received such a large donation that will help to support and provide essentials to our patients and their families.

May 19th is Personal Support Worker Day. It’s an opportunity to celebrate and acknowledge the vital contributions of Personal Support Workers (PSWs) to Ontario’s most vulnerable residents.
In Ontario, PSWs provide care to any person who requires personal assistance with activities of daily living. The PSWs who work at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre look after a broad range of supportive activities across many areas of the Hospital, including assisting with activities of daily living such as personal hygiene, mobility, getting dressed, assisting patients with meal selection, the delivery of nourishments, and assisting with feeding as needed. Please join us in thanking our PSWs for everything that they do.
It is with great sadness and heavy hearts we announce the passing of our friend and colleague, Kelly Daberer on May 8, 2024.
TBRHSC sadly lost a valued member of the phlebotomy team in the laboratory. Kelly Daberer has been a vital part of this team since 2006. If you ever had the pleasure of meeting Kelly, her smile was radiant, her laugh was contagious and her compassion endless. Kelly would go out of her way to help others with her kind heart and always found time for her family, friends and colleagues. Kelly’s legacy will continue to inspire us and remind us of the wonderful person she was. She will be missed, but her spirit will continue to live in our hearts and memories.
A Celebration of Life will be held from 2:00 p.m. until 4:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 23, 2024, at the Italian Cultural Centre.
