It was such as pleasure to have the Queen’s students with us for the months of January and February! Added to “Resources” is a new “Kaymar Dressing Aid Handout made by Aimee.” Check it Out in the “Resources” tab here in the Portal.
Resources and various kits are available at the Kaymar office for clinician to borrow. Items such as books and binders of information can be signed out with Colleen at the reception desk.
For items that are used with patients (i.e. equipment or kits), these must be signed out on the clipboard when you take it and then signed in once returned. If you have any difficulty finding the clipboard or where the equipment or kits are stored please ask any of the office team members for assistance.
Important items to note:
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to Corrie or Kim to find out more.
Thank you!
The ARI Screen has been updated slightly. The process essentially is the same.

The screen is available posted at the office as well as on the portal under “Resources.”
