Hamilton, Ontario, Canada Hamilton Health Sciences Full time

Unit Overview
The WLMH operates as a comprehensive community hospital with a capacity of 50 beds, delivering essential primary care services to the local population. This facility serves as a training ground for primary care medicine in collaboration with McMaster University. The hospital offers a range of services including general medicine, surgical procedures, obstetrics, and is supported by an intensive care unit and a fully equipped emergency department. The role of the Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) encompasses both mentorship and direct clinical engagement with patients across various departments.

Additionally, the RRT will conduct respiratory therapy assessments, develop therapy discharge plans, and create care plans. As an integral member of the Code Blue team, the RRT is expected to participate in patient and program meetings and maintain communication with relevant home care vendors and clients. The Respiratory Therapist operates independently, exercising sound judgment and decision-making in daily operations. The RRT also serves as a resource within the cardio-respiratory department, employing a multidisciplinary and collaborative approach that emphasizes patient and family-centered care.
