Northern Association of Family Councils (NAFC) Zoom Meeting
2024-09-12 19:00 - 20:00
Northern Association of Family Councils (NAFC)

September 12, 2024

7:00 pm – 8:00 pm via zoom

NAFC is 1 of 5 independent regional associations of family councils which make up the Independent Long-Term Care Councils Association of BC (ILTCCABC), a provincial association of family councils. Through monthly ILTCCABC meetings, our collective voice is elevated to the Ministry of Health to affect positive change to the long-term care system in BC. If you’re a member of a Family Council operating in a long-term care home in the Northern region of BC, we would love to have your family council join NAFC.

For more information about NAFC www.northernfamilycouncils.ca

Contact Nola cell 250-667-5686

Independent “Family Councils” and combined “Resident and Family Councils” operating in long-term care homes in the Northern region of BC, as well as individual volunteer community members (persons with lived experience in long-term care) are invited to meet and network via this regional forum. We share best practices (standards known to produce good outcomes if followed) and identify systemic issues (issues that are occurring in many long-term care homes in the northern region). We look to overcome barriers faced by our councils so they can operate more effectively. We offer educational components to help our members gain a better understanding of the BC long-term care system. We assist long-term care residents/ families and operators establish and maintain independent councils (self-led, self-determining, and democratic). We look for ways to improve quality of care and quality of life for residents living in long-term care.

2024-09-18 19:00 - 20:30 | Zoom
VCAFC holds regional family council forums regularly to invite our member independent family councils together to share their ideas and concerns across our VCH region. We support one another by celebrating positive stories about what family councils can do and we share and tackle the barriers to family councils being effective and sustainable.

We also ensure systemic issues across our long-term care system are teased out. These are priorities which should be tackled by our Ministry of Health. We raise those issues by way of the provincial association of family council meetings. Our regional association representatives meet monthly to share with ILTCCABC the voices of their family councils.

ILTCCABC member Education WebinarJanuary 21 2025@ 1:00-2:30pm

Long Term Care: Reducing medications in long-term care to meet life’s changesLong-term care residents often end up on a lot of medication. Residents change over time. It is a good idea to re-evaluate medications to make sure they continue to be a good fit. Sometimes, medications might no longer be necessary, might be causing more harm than good, or might not line up with “what matters most” to residents and caregivers. The objectives of the webinar are: 1) Understand when and why it makes sense to reduce or stop medications2) Gain tools, skills, and confidence to ask questions and get involved in medication decisions.

Our Presenter: Wade ThompsonWade is a pharmacist practicing in long-term care in Vancouver and an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine at UBC. He is a co-lead of deprescribing.org and a member of the Therapeutics Initiative. His work focuses on supporting clinicians and residents/care partners in making medication decisions.Join Zoom Meeting*https://us06web.zoom.us/j/87654938069?pwd=[REDACTED] ID: 876 5493 8069Passcode: [REDACTED]
