LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN
THE EDUCATING AND EMPLOYING ENTITIES
- and -
THE PROFESSIONAL ASSOCIATION OF RESIDENT
PHYSICIANS OF ALBERTA
RE:  ARTICLE 18: ON-CALL FACILITIES

 1.         In agreeing to work towards achieving ideal on-call facilities outlined in Articles 18.02(a) and 18.02(b) and lounge and Emergency Room work space facilities within the spirit of Article 18.01, the parties have agreed to a process of regular consultation and discussion as set out below. The parties recognize that the provision of ideal on-call, lounge and Emergency Room work space facilities will occur incrementally in the context of competing interests during the capital planning process.

2.         Should either party determine that an area(s) falls below the ideal, there will be  consultation between PARA representative(s) and the Authority representative(s). The  discussions will focus on the concerns found.

3.         The above discussions will result in written documents outlining the prioritization of needs to improve on-call/lounge facilities.

4.         The above written documents will serve as "requests," which will be submitted to the Authority Capital Planning processes for consideration with all other "capital" requests.

5.         PARA representative(s) will be able to present at the Authority Capital Planning process if presentations form a normal part of the Authority Capital Planning process.
