Speaker Series sponsored by the British Columbia Centre of Excellence for 
Women's Health with the Prairie Women's Health Centre of Excellence:

Voices from the Frontlines: Models of Women-Centred Care in Manitoba and 
Saskatchewan by Robin Barnett, Tammy Horne and Susan White.

A presentation by Robin Barnett, Consultant

This report describes women-centred care in the prairie provinces, and is 
inclusive of First Nations and Aboriginal models. Building upon prior 
Canadian research and policy work on women-centred care, the authors sought 
concrete and detailed information by investigating women-centred practices. 
Health care professionals, lay workers, and administrators describe how they 
define and deliver women-centred care based on the needs of women 
themselves. The report is informed by semi-structured interviews with health 
care practitioners and contains many quotes to give voice to the 
practitioners.

While many elements of women-centred care parallel those described 
previously, others such as Aboriginal spirituality and self-determination, 
integrated service delivery, a shared women-centred philosophy in the 
workplace, staff mental health and safety are described for the first time. 
Thus our understanding of women-centred care is deepened, particularly by 
evidence of how the workplace supports women-centred care.
