MAHCP members have opportunities to provide valuable health care insights and feedback to our new provincial government via the Health Care Listening Tour and associated online survey (launched January 11, 2024).
We encourage you to raise your voices and participate, both as frontline health professionals and as concerned Manitobans. Our government needs to hear directly from allied health professionals about unsafe working conditions, staffing shortages and the struggles you’ve been enduring. You are the experts and you know what you need to succeed. Together, we can deliver a strong, united message that fixing health care is the TOP priority for Manitobans, and that allied health is an essential partner in shaping the solution.

MAHCP encourages you to register once you’ve received information, attend the session if you’re able, and plan your questions and comments. The listening tour is for employees ONLY; employers, unions and media will not be represented. This is your opportunity to speak freely and directly to leaders about the pressures you’re under and to report on the resources you need to provide quality care to patients and clients. As more dates and locations are confirmed, they will be added to the government’s EngageMB site: Listening to Health Care Workers | EngageMB |
