We are asking for your help to improve the accuracy of our summer forecasts for each ER and Urgent Care Centre. Summer is a challenging time when it comes to maintaining ER coverage and service in Manitoba, in both rural communities and in Winnipeg. 

Your feedback will help with our public awareness messaging about ER services, as well as our advocacy to work with health system leaders to improve coverage in a safe and stable manner.

The health system has already attempted to employ some new measures in hopes of improving coverage, including inviting past ER physicians back to pick up shifts, and making it easier for existing ER physicians to have their privileges recognized in other hospitals. However, some hospitals that have traditionally had reliable 24/7 service in their ER or Urgent Care are struggling to achieve full physician coverage. 

If you work in an ER or urgent care centre, please take this 3‑minute survey to help us understand the situation in the hospital(s) you work in.
