Primary care providers regularly encounter frail persons in their daily clinical work. However, routine identification and measurement of frailty is not part of their standard practice and there is a general lack of awareness and consistency in their approach to frailty. This seminar will present the web-based “Frailty Portal” as a means of providing care to frail patients.
Palliative trajectories are extremely vulnerable – especially when it comes to co-operation across sector borders. But how does it look from patients’, relatives’ and professionals’ perspectives? In Denmark, GPs play an important role in these trajectories, but what do we know about their effort and attitudes? How do we go ahead from here?
BRIC NS and the Maritime SPOR SUPPORT Unit (MSSU) are happy to offer consultation for research teams applying for the Knowledge Synthesis grant. Discuss your project and further develop your grant application. Advice and support is available in the following areas:
Excess gestational weight gain is associated with a number of adverse outcomes for mothers and their offspring in the prenatal, intrapartum, and postpartum periods. This seminar will explore gestational weight gain through the lens of the Patient-Centred Clinical Method Framework.
We invite you to a “lunch and learn” on community engagement and research. Participants at this lunch and learn will have the opportunity to ask questions about the opportunities and challenges associates with community engagement in research and to discuss best practices.
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.
Project Incubators are an opportunity for researchers, clinicians, policy-makers and other stakeholders in Nova Scotia’s primary and integrated healthcare system to come together to discuss research topics and areas of collaboration. This event will include:
Often, when we think of personalized medicine we think of genes and high tech solutions to complicated problems. In this presentation, Dr. Gillian Bartlett (Dept. of Family Medicine McGill University) will present some of the work her group has done on exploring personalized medicine from the perspective of patient characteristics that are easily measurable; in this case, obesity.
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.
