The latest episode of CPSBC’s Connecting the Dots podcast is now available. This episode marked National Indigenous History Month and features an interview with Laurie Dokis. Laurie is from the Dokis First Nation and a member of the Anishinabek Nation in Ontario. She is a registered nurse with more than 30 years of clinical experience focusing on advancing anti-racism and cultural safety. She is also the co-chair of the Inquiry Committee of the BC ºÚÁÏÉç of Nurses and Midwives and sits on the BC Health Regulators' Indigenous Community of Practice.
Through stories and real-life examples from her personal and professional journey, Laurie offers valuable insights into what Indigenous cultural safety looks like from the patient's perspective. She also reflects on the Indigenous Cultural Safety, Cultural Humility and Anti-racism practice standard, illustrating how these principles show up in real-world care settings.
