📢 Plaidoyer pour le changement : autonomiser les infirmières-iers et améliorer l’accès Au cours des derniers mois, l’Association des infirmières et infirmiers du Canada (AIIC) a vigoureusement plaidé pour une réforme essentielle : permettre aux infirmières de remplir le formulaire de crédit d’impôt pour personnes handicapées (CIPH). Ce changement simple mais significatif permettrait : ✅ D’améliorer l’efficacité de notre système de santé ✅ D’assurer un accès plus équitable au CIPH pour les Canadiennes et Canadiens ✅ D’autonomiser les infirmières pour travailler pleinement dans leur champ de pratique Nous avons reçu de nombreux commentaires de nos membres, qui soutiennent fermement cette priorité et partagent leurs idées et expériences. Leurs retours confirment l’importance de ce changement et son potentiel pour améliorer la vie des patients et des infirmières. Pour concrétiser cette initiative, l’AIIC a envoyé une lettre ouverte aux ministres Chrystia Freeland et Marie-Claude Bibeau, soulignant cette demande. Nous l’avons également incluse dans notre mémoire prébudgétaire fédéral. Il s’agit de renforcer notre système de santé et de soutenir les personnes en situation de handicap. Ensemble, nous pouvons y arriver. 💪 https://ow.ly/9MLo50UqZhc #LeadershipInfirmier #Plaidoyer #EquitéEnSanté #CréditImpôtHandicap

📢 Advocating for Change: Empowering Nurses and Improving Access Over the past months, the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) has been strongly advocating for an important change: allowing nurses to certify the Disability Tax Credit (DTC) form. This simple yet impactful adjustment would: ✅ Enhance the efficiency of our health system ✅ Ensure more equitable access to the DTC for Canadians ✅ Empower nurses to work to their full scope of practice We’ve heard from many of our members who strongly support this priority and shared their insights and experiences. Their feedback reinforces the need for this change and its potential to positively impact patients and nurses alike. To make this happen, CNA has sent an open letter to Ministers Chrystia Freeland and Marie-Claude Bibeau, highlighting this request. We’ve also included it as a priority in our federal pre-budget brief. This is about strengthening our healthcare system and supporting Canadians with disabilities. Together, we can make it happen. 💪 https://ow.ly/tAiK50UqZny #NursingLeadership #Advocacy #EquityInHealthcare #DisabilityTaxCredit

ICN President Pamela Cipriano on #Afghan women being banned from #nursing and #midwifery training: “The right of people to timely and accessible #healthcare is dependent on there being sufficient #nurses and #midwives. If women can no longer train as nurses and midwives, it will have a serious and debilitating effect on #Afghanistan’s #healthservices.” https://bit.ly/3Bg0zS0
