The IWK Health Centre is leaning on colleagues at Nova Scotia Health as officials at the Halifax hospital contend with an ongoing shortage of radiologists and work through the result of a workplace assessment intended to help “rebuild” the diagnostic imaging department.
An internal memo dated Feb. 6, obtained by CBC News, announces the departure of two doctors in the IWK’s diagnostic imaging department and also that recommendations from a recent workplace assessment would be shared with team members.
“In the meantime, we will be working to establish a steering committee to oversee implementation of recommendations that will allow us to rebuild an effective, collaborative and respectful work environment where the highly important care delivery and academic mission of the diagnostic imaging team can thrive,” the memo says in part.
