Paramedic works to ensure young ATV riders have helmets

Saskatchewan Health Authority paramedics like Cameron Harrison are not only responding to emergencies, they're working to prevent them.

 Provide Your Feedback

Complete the Hospital Security and Protective Services survey

Submit by: August 5, 2026

As part of the independent, third-party review of hospital safety and security announced by the Ministry of Health, all Saskatchewan Health Authority employees are invited to voluntarily participate in the Hospital Security and Protective Services survey.

The survey is being conducted and administered by Buckingham Security Services Ltd. and is completely confidential. All survey responses go directly to Buckingham Security Services Ltd.

The scope of the review includes hospital and health centres, safety assessments, the legislative and regulatory environment, jurisdictional scanning, service delivery analysis, training and competency standards, tools and infrastructure, and stakeholder engagement.

The review will not involve detailed investigations of individual incidents, ongoing investigations, or processes currently underway or already completed.

Your experiences and perspectives are valuable in shaping the final report.

SHA is seeking employee feedback about Translation and Interpretation Services. While these services support patient care, this survey is open to all staff, not just those who currently use them.

Your input will help improve Translation and Interpretation Services and support safe, high-quality care delivery throughout the province.
