We are pleased to announce that the latest addition to the Education in a
Box series, "Ethics in Long-Term Care" is now available for circulation to
personal care homes (PCH).
Developed by the WRHA PCH Program and the University of Manitoba's J. W.
Crane Memorial Library, the "Education in a Box Series" focuses on topics
of interest to staff in personal care homes, and contains material that is
practical, easy-to-read and reflects "best practice". The boxes generally
include one or two current videos, printed material, and a list of
associated websites and other material, such as books and additional videos
available from the library. The "Ethics in Long-Term Care" box was created
by the Deer Lodge Centre Ethics Committee and Winnipeg Regional Health
Authority Ethics Council and contains the video "An ethical lens on
long-term care". Extra copies of the video will be available at the J. W.
Crane Memorial Library.
Additional materials can be ordered from the J. W. Crane Memorial Library by
filling out the form included and returning it to the Library.
Educators who request the "Box" have many options for using the included
material. For example, they can choose to:
. have a video available for viewing, and have staff sign when they
have viewed it
. book a time in their educational calendar to show the video
. suggest that staff read any or all printed material, and sign a
sheet indicating that they have read it
. offer copies of the lists of websites and associated materials to
any interested staff
Each personal care home will need to decide which materials best reflect
educational needs and practice standards.
Two boxes have been created, for Winnipeg PCHs and one for rural PCHs.
Personal care home staff may have to wait until the "Box" is available.
