Memorial 3 Involvement

Memorial Three Unit Council is made up of approximately ten nurses from the unit. The council aims to improve patient care, patient satisfaction and nursing satisfaction on the floor through research, peer collaboration and project implementation and evaluation. Meetings are held one to two times a month depending on current projects and unit needs.
