Biked there and back, mostly beside lakes.

You want a #Planetaryhealth briefing? We’ll do it on the dock in the sun. Come play 🤓

I love this paper. And I’m super grateful that it was done by @drnicoleredvers.bsky.social
and Elders who work at my hospital and live in the territory I serve. Incredible to have this insight as we imagine #PlanetaryHealth in the north.

Has grey rain in Vancouver got you down? Tired of the traffic in Toronto? I skied out my back door and onto this trail in #Yellowknife, in Chief Drygeese Territory. This is a 15 or 20 minute bike ride to the hospital. Come work & play with us!

Indigenous Elders' voices on health-systems change informed by planetary health: a qualitative and relational systems mapping inquiry Indigenous Peoples and their knowledge systems are increasingly being looked to for solutions regarding climate change, including within clinical health-care settings. Indigenous Elders specifically are noted knowledge keepers within their communities and are often looked to with great respect for their Land-based knowledges as they pertain to planetary health approaches. We sought to explore the views of health-systems change informed by planetary health within the circumpolar north from the perspective of Indigenous Elders.

A real gift to have this scholarly work informing #planetaryhealth & health systems thinking in the north and beyond. It makes me smile to see Felix Lockhart, the Elder at our hospital, as an author. @GCHAlliance #NWTMA

FIRST PERSON | As a rural ER doctor, I feel guilty cutting back my hours. But it's the only way for me to keep working | CBC News Dr. Sarah Giles wants you to know she's sorry that patients are suffering because of staffing shortages in health care. But she's learned that working longer hours won't solve the problem. In fact, it could have led her to leave the profession altogether.

Beautiful piece by one of the hardest working and most caring doctors I know.
@SarahGiles10
We are having similar conversations in our #ER in #Yellowknife—except as the territorial ER we can’t close.
