Did you provide care at Sinai Health during the 2020-2022 COVID-19 pandemic?

Our research team is seeking to understand staff experiences of being redeployed and / or working within a team-based model of care. We would also like to know about your experiences in providing patient care and what staff would like to see changed to how care is provided in the future.

We invite interested participants to engage in a 45-60 minute interview, conducted in person, over the phone or through Zoom. Participants will be offered a gift card as a thank you for their participation.

This qualitative study is being conducted by Dr. Lianne Jeffs, Research and Innovation Lead and Scientific Director of the Science of Care Institute at Sinai Health and funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
