Nursing care structure

Hospital care units, CLSC points of service and community services

Hospital care units
  • The 23-bed hospital offers several and diversified units. Nurses play a wide-ranging role and treat a diverse clientele. Nurses may therefore offer care in the following: general medicine, minor surgery, intensive care, psychiatry, obstetrics, pediatrics, gerontology, nursery care, delivery room, voluntary pregnancy interruption (VPI) and physical rehabilitation

  • In addition to participating in medical air evacuations when needed, nurses are required, each in their turn, to get acquainted with CLSC points of service work and acquire the qualifications necessary to take on a wider role

CLSC points of service
  • Each village north of Kuujjuaq has a CLSC point of service. Two to six nurses assume CLSC points of service care, both emergency and community services. In this context, nurses take on a wider role and alternatively share call duty so that services can be offered on a continual basis
Community health and public health
  • In this context, the nurses’ role is primarily prevention and promotion. They work in close collaboration with other community actors (school, day care, municipality, etc.), and in proximity with the population
