An alarming new study is out that shines a bright spotlight on the staffing crisis in Ontario hospitals. One of the study’s co-authors is Dr. James Brophy, a researcher at the University of Windsor, who joins Frisco and Scott on this week’s Inside the Village to talk about the findings. Burnout, fatigue, stress and anxiety are running rampant amongst healthcare workers. What’s causing it and what’s being done to turn things around? We also ask Brophy what he would say to Premier Doug Ford if he had five minutes of his time? Also on the podcast: the latest on SPACES — and a launch date for TorontoToday.
