Events
Quality in Primary Healthcare Seminar Series
Understanding gestational weight gain through the lens of the PCCM Framework
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.
Lunch and Learn
Why is meaningful community engagement in research so important… and challenging?
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.
Webinar – Intro to BRIC NS
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 Incubator – Personal Health Record provincial roll-out
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:
- An introduction to BRIC NS
- Information about funding opportunities
- An introduction for the Personal Health Record (PHR) initiative
- An opportunity to ask questions of people involved in the PHR demonstration project
Quality in Primary Health Care Seminar Series
Personalized Medicine: The Role of Obesity in Prescribing
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.
Fostering Collaboration – Project Incubators
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.
