The Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) team (📸) at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre plays a vital role in protecting both staff and patients in our Hospital, with a strong focus on immunization oversight from the very start of employment.

A key part of their work begins at the new hire stage, where they carefully review each employee’s immunization history to ensure it meets Hospital and public health requirements before staff begin their duties. Through thorough tracking and documentation, the OHS team maintains up-to-date immunization records for all staff. This proactive approach helps identify gaps early, ensuring new hires receive any required vaccines or follow-up before entering clinical areas.

By establishing this foundation from day one, the team helps reduce the risk of exposure and transmission within the Hospital. Beyond onboarding, the OHS team continues to monitor immunization status across the organization, supporting ongoing compliance and readiness. They also lead annual vaccination campaigns, such as the seasonal influenza (flu) program, making it easy and accessible for staff to stay protected. In the fast-paced acute care setting — where patients are often at their most vulnerable — this diligent tracking is essential to maintaining a safe environment.

As we recognize National Immunization Awareness Week (April 27 to May 3), we acknowledge the dedication and expertise of our OHS team. Their behind-the-scenes efforts, from onboarding reviews to continuous monitoring, help create a healthier, safer environment for everyone who walks through our doors.

NODDING is an enhancement of the NOD (Name, Occupation, Do) communication practice, focusing on building deeper, empathetic connections with patients and families through noticing cues, interacting meaningfully, developing trust, and being genuine. It aligns with Patient and Family Centred Care (PFCC) by advancing dignity, respect, open communication, participation, and collaboration, helping ensure every interaction is compassionate and person-centered.

We are proud to celebrate the successful completion of NODDING training for our 3A Unit champion staff (📸) — marking an important step forward in strengthening person-centred communication across our Hospital.

A multidisciplinary group from the 3A Unit came together for an immersive 2.5-hour training session, with representation from management, patient flow, nursing, and social work. The session was co-facilitated alongside four Patient and Family Advisors (PFAs), whose lived experiences brought powerful depth and authenticity to the learning.

The training provided a deep dive into empathy in healthcare — exploring common thinking traps, recognizing patient cues, and building the skills needed to foster meaningful, patient-centred interactions. PFAs shared real-life stories that highlighted the profound impact empathy has on patient experience, safety, and trust.

Participants actively engaged in hands-on role play, demonstrating the core elements of NODDING:

Developing trust, Interacting meaningfully, Noticing patient cues, and Being genuine.

These skills move beyond introduction and into intentional connection — enabling patients and families to feel heard, understood, and empowered to co-design their care.

3A will serve as the pilot unit for NODDING implementation, with rollout supported by the PRCC team and led by our trained champion staff. This work reflects our continued commitment to embedding empathy into everyday practice — not as a soft skill, but as a critical driver of safety, quality, and patient experience.

Clinical placements play a vital role in a health care learner’s journey, bridging academic learning with real-world practice and helping students build confidence, competence, and professional identity. Through hands-on experience, learners develop essential clinical skills, teamwork, and an understanding of patient-centred care.

As an academic health sciences centre, our Hospital is proud to support learners by providing a safe, supportive, and enriching placement environment where future professionals can learn, grow, and contribute meaningfully to patient care.

We want you to meet some of the learners at Thunder Bay Regional Health Sciences Centre (TBRHSC) who are currently on that journey — such as Nav Bajwa.

Hometown: Athens, Greece

Program: Medical Radiation Technology, Confederation College

➡️ What does an average day during your placement look like?

An average day during my placement begins early, as I prepare for an eight-hour clinical shift. Throughout the week, I rotate through a variety of areas, including general X-ray, fluoroscopy, the operating room, and the fracture clinic. Each day, I work alongside a different preceptor, gaining exposure to diverse techniques and perspectives. Our training is highly hands-on, and we’re encouraged to take initiative while working under supervision, an approach that helps us build confidence and competence as future X-ray technologists. This experience also allows us to develop strong working relationships with the team, build our professional reputation, and gain a deeper understanding of the hospital environment as we prepare for our careers.

➡️ Is there a mentor or faculty member who has significantly impacted you?

Two faculty members who have significantly enhanced my learning experience are Anne-Marie Hutton and Alexa Chesky. They foster a supportive learning environment where I feel comfortable asking questions and learning from my mistakes. Their positive, encouraging approach, combined with thoughtful, constructive feedback, has supported my professional growth throughout my placement. They have also been intentional in providing exposure to a range of unique and less common cases, helping to better prepare me for real-world clinical practice.

➡️ What is one interesting fact others might not know about you?

I’m passionate about fitness and have been strength training since 2023. I currently work at the Confederation College gym and I aim to become a personal trainer in the near future. I am a strong advocate of mental and physical health.
