Expanded Scope of Practice Will Ultimately Hurt Patients On October 1, the CBC published an article on how a program to expand the scope of practice of pharmacists in New Brunswick completely fell apart and was cancelled. Thereโ€™s a litany of reasonโ€ฆ

#medsky #ontariosky #onsky Recently, Ontario announced that it was exploring expanding the scope of practice of allied health care professionals even more. This will ultimately be bad for patient care. My thoughts below:

#medsky. On vacation. About to board the Chi-Cheemaun to Manitoulin. But still logging in to EMR to check labs/messages. With FHO+ will get paid to do this, but frankly would prefer a drastic reduction to #admin burden instead

sec. wright tweet:

Even if you wrapped the entire planet in a solar panel, you would only be producing 20% of global energy.
One of the biggest mistakes politicians can make is equating the ELECTRICITY with ENERGY!

Community Notes:
Earth gets ~1.5M TWh/day of solar energy-over 3,000x global energy use (~165K TWh/year).
Covering just 1% of land with panels could-theoretically-power the planet. Electricity is energy, and electrification replaces fossil use in transport, heat, and industry.

By failing to sanction Israel, EU leaders are complicit in its crimes. They must act now | Josep Borrell Europeโ€™s silence has allowed the genocide of Palestinians to continue unchecked โ€“ undermining all it stands for, says Josep Borrell, a former EU high representative

"Since the EU foreign affairs ministers found that #Israel was not respecting these rights, #EU leaders now have a legal obligation to suspend the agreement. Failure to do so would also be a serious violation of the association agreement with Israel."
