Public Health Ministry & Canadian team hold Code White/Restraint Workshop
A “Code White” response is intended for a situation in which a patient is behaving in a potentially dangerous manner towards himself or others,” the minister elaborated.
He also noted that addressing the behaviour of patients in a respectful, caring, safe manner is critical to preventing situations which may prove dangerous to patients, health care workers or other members of the public and damage to property.
“I want to urge you to take full advantage of the training opportunities presented to you here today as well as to pass on any knowledge you have gained to your colleagues, ” Minister Norton implored the health workers.
