• The COVID-19 pandemic has led The Ottawa Hospital to innovate in providing care, particularly for Inuit patients from Nunavut who require cancer treatment. Prior to the pandemic, women undergoing breast cancer treatment with the drug Herceptin had to travel from Nunavut to Ottawa every three weeks for up to nine months. However, COVID-19 travel and isolation restrictions made this impossible. To address this, Gwen Barton, manager of the Indigenous Cancer Program, and her team devised a solution for patients to receive their treatment at Qikiqtani General Hospital (QGH) in Nunavut. This involved training, policy writing, and ensuring the drug’s availability in the territory. Jennifer Newton, a nurse educator at The Ottawa Hospital, provided virtual training to QGH doctors and nurses on administering the medicine. The first dose of Herceptin was given to a patient in Nunavut on September 11. The collaboration between The Ottawa Hospital and Qikiqtani General Hospital has led to significant advancements in cancer care for patients from Nunavut. Through workshops, visits, and knowledge sharing, both hospitals have strengthened their relationship and improved communication, ultimately aiming to enhance the care provided to Inuit patients. This partnership has not only benefitted healthcare staff in understanding the treatment process but has also allowed for better advocacy for patients. The commitment of both hospitals to addressing the unique needs of Nunavut patients has been evident, with a shared goal of making healthcare more accessible and effective for this population. summerize this please
