Regional Health Authorities (RHA) policies

The RHA's in Newfoundland and Labrador and the Horizon Health Network in New Brunswick each have their own policies in place governing respectful workplace. These policies can be found within each organization’s intranet with a listing available here.

RHA policies are utilized when a learner brings forward a complaint regarding an employee/physician of a RHA (e.g. nurse; physiotherapist; staff physician) that does not have an appointment with the Faculty of Medicine at Memorial.
