Intersecting policy contexts of employment-related geographical mobility of healthcare workers: the case of Nova Scotia, Canada
journal contribution
posted on 2018-11-01, 00:00 authored by Shiva Nourpanah, Sheri Price, Ivy Bourgeault, Pauline Gardiner Barber, Lois Jackson, Michael LeiterMobility and movement is an increasingly important part of work for many, however, Employment-Related Geographical Mobility (ERGM), defined as the extended movement of workers between places of permanent residence and employment, is relatively understudied among healthcare workers. It is critical to understand the policies that affect ERGM, and how they impact mobile healthcare workers. We outline four key intersecting policy contexts related to the ERGM of healthcare workers, focusing on the mobility of Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) and Continuing Care Assistants (CCAs) in Nova Scotia: international labour mobility and migration; interprovincial labour mobility; provincial credential recognition; and, workplace and occupational health and safety.
