Oct 4 seminar at WIAIH in Pointe Claire<\/i><\/b>

Representatives of the Montreal Children’s Hospital (MCH) will be visiting the West Island Friday, to spread the word about the importance of family-centered healthcare.<\/p>\n

\u201cFamilies have to be part of the team,\u201d neonatologist Dr. Patricia Riley told The Suburban<\/i> in an interview. \u201cParents often know what will be best for their particular family. It makes us better physicians when those families can tell us what they need.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Riley recalled how a family whose child was hospitalized for a year \u201cexperienced a lot of difficulty making sure that different parts of the medical team were speaking to one another and keeping them in the discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey eventually developed a rapport that produced a good care plan,\u201d she said. \u201cI don’t think that that would have happened, had they not had a certain expertise as parents. We, as a medical team, can’t develop a plan in a vacuum.\u201d<\/p>\n

The problem, she explained, is that some people feel intimidated by medical professionals.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome people can’t communicate and others come from cultures where you can’t speak up and ask for what you need,\u201d Dr. Riley observed.<\/p>\n

The MCH is striving to empower those parents to do so, she added.<\/p>\n

MCH ombudsman Patricia Boyer and patient and family-centred care coordinator Imma Gidaro will conduct a seminar for parents, Oct. 4, on patients’ rights and patients’ engagement.<\/p>\n

The lecture will start at 10 a.m. at the West Island Association for the Intellectually Handicapped, at 111 Donegani in Pointe Claire.<\/p>\n

Organizers have also arranged for Dr. Clown to be on hand to entertain their children. <\/p>\n
