UNA Local 196 Welcomes Dr. Amélie Perron!

Dr. Amélie Perron is a Nurse researcher and Full Professor at the School of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Ottawa. She is also Co-President of the Nursing Observatory, critically analyzing issues impacting the nursing workforce.

She is especially interested in nurses’ ability to raise concerns in challenging healthcare environments where unsafe, reprehensible, or illegal events occur. She approaches whistleblowing as an organizational rather than an individual phenomenon, shifting the focus to institutional arrangements that facilitate or hinder the flow of critical information. Her clinical nursing practice is grounded in institutional and community mental health and crisis intervention with marginalized and vulnerable populations. A Q&A will also follow this presentation.

REGISTRATION IN DMS REQUIRED FOR ENTRY.
