Students from UPEI’s faculty of nursing are joining with nursing and medical students across Atlantic Canada to support health-care providers.
This student-led initiative includes students from UPEI’s nursing society, Memorial University’s Medical Society, and the Dalhousie University Medical Society.
Student volunteers will be matched with health-care providers who need help with childcare, running errands, pet care and other tasks, to provide support and relief during the increased workload of the coronavirus (COVID-19 strain) pandemic.
Volunteers must be health care students with CPR training and meet strict criteria to limit exposure to and spread of the virus. Careful records will be kept to track exposure. Students interested in volunteering can read the criteria and sign up online.
Health-care providers who would like to sign up for relief and support through the initiative can do so here.
