Welcome to the Home Mechanical Ventilation assembly! We look forward to the engagement and participation of all of our members, as we are a newly re-established group with goals to serve the needs of our community. There are many opportunities to get involved!
Our assembly’s workplan includes development of educational webinars and symposia, including hands-on simulation sessions, as well as the future development of guidelines and position statements to inform clinical practice. We hope to additionally foster connections between multi-disciplinary colleagues across Canada, provide mentorship to junior professionals and to advocate on behalf of our patient population.
We encourage you to connect with the assembly and to volunteer to help advance our assembly priorities and projects. We look forward to working with you!
Sincerely,
Sherri & Marta
