Anesthesia Assistants (AA) are Registered Respiratory Therapists trained to assist in caring for patients during anesthesia. We're lucky to have an amazing group of AAs helping in the ORs. Thank you so much for delivering exceptional care to our patients! Happy #RTWeek2023 !

Great talk by @BDSouza123 about improving success rates (and patient satisfaction) in obtaining vascular access, and explaining the @IWKHealth AAs becoming part of the PICC team! #CSRT2023

Thanks to everyone who made the last day (and last 20+ years) so great for my dad. Big shoes to fill - he taught me everything I know, and was the reason for my passion for QI work…wouldn’t be where I am today without him
Replying to @DalAnesthesia
@DalAnesthesia Quality Officer and Data Analyst, Paul Brousseau, retired today! Paul was a pioneer in the Anesthesia Assistant role at the QEII, becoming one of the first AAs to work in the OR. Best wishes Paul! @ca_brou @Ropivacaine @HealthNS #DalProud

They were (and still are) role models in every sense of the word - in particular, @ammunro2 @AnaSjaus @Dolores_McKeen @robyn_doucet @hilarykatem @DrTriciaDoyle taught me about being leaders in research and education, and I aspire to their level of excellence 🙏
