The government has been saying for weeks that healthcare professional-to-patient ratios and healthcare professionals’ excessive workloads are a priority but nothing in the new budget indicates that.

Employees will enter a new scale with either an equivalent salary or one immediately above what they had. For most, it will mean a pay increase.

The FIQ’s Executive Committee presented the latest developments on implementing the safe ratio pilot projects at the Provincial Council underway in Laval.

Over the last few weeks, some CISSS and CIUSSS senior managers have shown a willingness to lighten healthcare professionals’ excessive workload. But unfortunately, far too many institutions aren’t doing their duty.

The FIQ is pleased to present the FIQ Special Report – Respiratory Therapist, a publication aimed at shedding light on the respiratory therapy profession.

After a few meetings with the employer, the FIQ-SPSL executive committee managed to negotiate three agreements to reduce overtime and mandatory overtime.
