CIUSSS lacks staff to screen COVID-19 | Coronavirus

Those who are able to take samples and who wish to work at the screening center of the former Sears premises in Fleur de Lys could take up employment as early as in the coming days.

We are preparing for the second wave. A significant increase in the volume of screenings is expected. It would be a very quick entry into service, from the beginning of next week, if possible , says the deputy director of general health services at the CIUSSS of the Capitale-Nationale, Serge Garneau.

Specific profiles sought

The CIUSSS is looking for people who have specific qualifications to be able to take samples.

We are seeking applications from physiotherapists, dental hygienists, dentists, nutritionists, respiratory therapists, medical technologists, audiologists, nurses and licensed practical nurses who are not employed full time .

These new employees will be added to the 12 people who work daily at the screening center.

This additional need for personnel is caused by the orders of the authorities which force the CIUSSS to test more, but also by the deconfinement measures.

Several employees of the CIUSSS de la Capitale-Nationale, who have been working for COVID-19 screening for several weeks, must now return to their basic jobs.

A large recruitment advertising campaign will be launched shortly in the media.
