In this Mental Wellness Moment, Dr. Nicholas Mitchell talks about why mental health awareness is important, and how talking about your mental health can be beneficial.
A new Required Organizational Learning (ROL) course, Patient Experience 101 (PE101), is available on MyLearningLink (MLL). This course replaces ROL – Patient- & Family-Centred Care 101 (PFCC101), which is still available as a foundational course.
ROL – PE101 amplifies the importance of partnership through sharing perspectives of AHS staff, patients and families. When completed, learners will be able to:
If you took PFCC101 within the last three years, you don’t need to take ROL – PE101 until your course status expires. However, staff are encouraged to enroll in it to be up to date with AHS’ approach to patient experience.

Some Indigenous Peoples have a deep-rooted spiritual connection to their hair.
If there is a need to touch or cut a patient’s hair for medical purposes and procedures, consent from the patient and their family must be given. The Indigenous Wellness Core’s Cultural Competency Team has created resources regarding the cultural significance of hair for Indigenous Peoples for front-line clinicians caring for Indigenous patients.
You are asked to share the new resources with your clinical teams. If you have questions or need advice, please reach out to the Indigenous Hospital Support staff in your area, or email indigenouswellnesscore@ahs.ca. Clinicians can also call the Indigenous Support Line for advice between noon and 8 p.m., Monday to Friday, at 1-844-944-4744.
Today is the final day to take a survey, for public sector employees in Alberta, designed to gauge awareness and perceptions of an essential service available to you as an employee regarding whistleblower protection.
The survey — conducted by an independent legislative office — is entirely optional. It is not an internal initiative, it is anonymous, and no identifying information is being collected.
Your feedback will provide valuable insights and help direct future initiatives, educational opportunities, and reform in this area.
