BRIC NS is part of the pan-Canadian SPOR Network in Primary and Integrated Health Care Innovations, a network of networks with representation from across the country. With foundations in community-based primary healthcare, BRIC NS is creating partnerships within and across sectors of healthcare (e.g public health, primary healthcare, secondary, tertiary, home and long-term care) as well as outside of the health sector (e.g education, housing, social services) to improve individual and population health, health equity and health system outcomes.

Often, when we think of personalized medicine we think of genes and high tech solutions to complicated problems.

We will be hosting a series of informal “Project Incubator” discussions to encourage the development of research questions and connections between network members with similar interests.
