THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 12, 2002. PAGE 21. • Forum says locums way of future in physician care
. By Mark Nonkes
Winghani Advance-Times
Patients are going to have to get
used to not having the same doctor
from birth to death, a group of citizens
was told at the Wingham District
Community Forum.
The way of the future are locums,
doctors who spend short periods of
time in one location practicing
medicine Gwen Devereaux, Huron
Perth Hospital Partnership project
manager of physician recruitment,
told a group of more than 60 people at
the meeting last Tuesday.
One thing the Wingham District
Hospital recruitment committee is
looking at developing is locum office
space.
That also means there will be a
large percentage of patients who will
be floating among locum doctors, said
Verna Steffler, recruitment committee
member. "The doctor you have today
may not be the doctor you have next
year," said Verna Steffler of the
recruitment committee.
Wingham has been actively
recruiting physicians since 1996.
Wingham is designated an under-
serviced area.
In Ontario, there is a shortage 1,250
doctors.
"You're in a lot better shape than a
lot of other communities out there
because of a strong recruitment
team," Devereaux said.
"It's not that easy to secure some
doctors because they are wanted
everywhere," Steffler said.
Not only will doctors be in demand,
but so will nurses, Wingham District
Hospital Site Administrator and Vice
President Margret Comack said.
Comack said the average age of

Reservations were expressed
about the prospect of students
having lunch prior to 11 a.m., then
waiting until the end of the school
day before getting further
nourishment, as trustees of the
Huron-Perth Catholic District
School Board learned about changes
for the 2002-03 timetable at St.
Anne's high school.
Beginning in September, there will
be five 77-minute periods at the
Clinton-based school, with any of
the three middle sessions possibly
being designated as a lunch period
for any one student. That's a change
from the current format, which
features four instructional periods
and two designated lunch periods.
Trustees learned of the changes at
a regular board meeting Monday,

A special resolution of the Huron-
Perth Catholic District School Board
was necessary to allow the trustee
for Huron East and North and
Central Perth to retain his position
medical staff is aging and many of the
nurses will enter retirement age
within the coming years.
When the hospital is trying to
recruit a new physician one of the
most important factors is the
possibility of a job for a spouse.
Other considerations doctors play
June 3. Education Superintendent
Ray Contois explained the change is
being made partly to avoid the need
for another portable classroom at the
school, and partly to cut down on
congestion during lunch periods.
"By (implementing the new
timetable), the school is able to
maximize its teaching spaces," states
a report prepared by Contois,
provided to trustees.
Stratford representative Ron
Marcy expressed concern that the
first possible lunch period "will be
very early," and might be followed
by a long stretch of time during
which students wouldn't have the
chance to eat anything. Later, Marcy
added this might be a particular
concern for students with diabetes.
Contois responded that students

time slot, which would begin well
before 11 a.m. but conclude closer to

their lunch near the end of their
designated lunch, perhaps after
taking part in other activities. In an
interview following the meeting, he
added the new St. Anne's timetable
might actually provide students with
an increased amount of time for such
extracurricular opportunities.
He also told trustees that members
of the board's and school's
administrative staff have met to
discuss possible challenges,
including students with diabetes or
farm-family students who awake
early to do chores and may get
hungry if they're in classrooms until
the final designated lunch period.
"We've had meetings with the
principals and talked about the fact
that, if they have students who are
getting hungry, maybe they'll have
to make some accommodations,"
Contois said.

straight meeting. McInnes is
currently also personnel chair for the
board.

as keeping up with board business,"
