Julie Bouchard<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Julie Bouchard has been president of the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration interprofessionnelle de la sant\u00e9 du Qu\u00e9bec\u2013FIQ since December 2021.<\/p>\n

First-hand witness to the devastating effects of the many reforms in the health network, which have degraded working conditions, her major battles have been over professional recognition for her members, workload, safe and quality care, implementation of safe healthcare professional-to-patient ratios, as well as obstacles to work-family-personal life balance. She believes these priorities remain fundamental today, particularly in the context of the Dub\u00e9 reform.<\/p>\n

Determined to see working conditions and care in the public health network become more humane, before she became president, she was involved in the Syndicat des professionnelles en soins du Saguenay-\u00a0Lac-Saint-Jean for over 15 years as a grievance agent and vice-president in charge of the labour relations sector. Strong in her convictions, she successfully ran for president in her local union in 2017.<\/p>\n

Ms. Bouchard is a trained licensed practical nurse. She has worked in several centres of activity, such as CHSLDs with seniors, hospital centres, and CLSCs in home care.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”5\/12″][vc_column_text css=””]<\/p>\n
