Effective human communication plays a central role in human relationships daily. It is not surprising to see how interpersonal communication can affect our lives in different contexts. For newcomers to Canada, cultural settings, languages barriers, and other factors could be a burden to have and maintain dynamics especially in the workplace. Join us for a two-part webinar series that will move us toward creating effective interpersonal communication.
Cette session est présentée par le Réseau canadien de recherche en soins primaires (RCRSP), dans le cadre de leur série d'apprentissage du RCRSP 2024.
Structures essentielles du système de santé apprenant dans le domaine des soins primaires : quelles sontelles et comment ont-elles été mises en place ? Série d’apprentissage du RCRSP 2024 26 mars 2024 / 12h - 13h HE / Réunion Zoom Un problème commun auquel tout le monde est confronté est qu'il faut en moyenne de 12 à 15 ans avant que la recherche ne soit mise en pratique. Le Réseau canadien de recherche en soins primaires prend l'initiative de créer un élan pour tirer des enseignements et appliquer plus rapidement les données probantes à la pratique et à la prestation des soins primaires. Cette session explorera des solutions communes pour les réseaux de recherche et d’apprentissage axés sur la pratique afin : a) d’utiliser les données pour étudier et comprendre la nature du problème (analyse avancée et connaissance de la population) et b) d’engager les patientes et patients, le personnel soignant et les cliniciennes et cliniciens dans la cocréation de solutions à partir de données locales et de synthèses de données probantes de haute qualité (cocréation par les patientes et patients, le personnel soignant et les prestataires de soins).

This webinar is presented by the Tamarack Institute.
Participants in this webinar will work through the resources, methods, and 7 functions of Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD). There will also be an opportunity to explore how an ABCD lens can be applied to your current work.
Registrants will also get access to workshop pre-learning resources to help them prepare for the workshop content and complete a self-reflection exercise. After the workshop, they will receive a personalized, 1-hour coaching session to help translate the knowledge into action.
Participants will learn about:
ABCD as a people-centered approach: ABCD is a community-driven development (bottom-up) approach. It's about focusing on strengths and not deficits or needs to develop programs and plans.
Resources in a community: ABCD is about uncovering the six assets or resources that communities have that are used to enhance local well-being.
Methods to find assets: ABCD approaches are iterative and emergent. While there are no methods that we can prescribe, there are several practices that communities around the world have found helpful. Asset Mapping is one way to uncover hidden community assets.
The functions of a community: Seven functions are critical features of local natural community work. They are bottom-up, hyper-local, and citizen-led.
Heather Keam works with municipalities and organizations to build strategies that put people at the center using Asset-Based Community Development. With over 22 years of experience in community development, she uses an ABCD approach to center people and belonging in the development of community plans and strategies through coaching and training staff teams, facilitation, and writing about ABCD and Belonging.
Wendy McCaig is the founder and Executive Director of Embrace Communities. She has been a practitioner of Asset-Based Community Development since 2005 and has been coaching and training organizations on how to strengthen communities from the inside out since 2012. Wendy is the author of “From the Sanctuary to the Streets” (CASCADE books 2010) and “Power Shift: A Field Guide for Community Cultivators Everywhere.”

How to make evidence-informed policies more responsive to citizens’ needs and values?
Citizens have a vital role to play in shaping health policies that affect their lives. By engaging them in evidence-informed deliberation, policy-makers can gain insights into their perspectives, preferences, and experiences. This can lead to more effective, equitable, and acceptable health policies, especially in times of crisis.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has recently published two new resources to support citizen engagement in evidence-informed decision-making in the health field. The first one is an overview document that introduces the concept and principles of citizen engagement and its benefits and challenges. The second one is a guide on how to organize mini-publics, a specific form of citizen engagement that involves a representative sample of citizens in structured and facilitated discussions on a policy issue.
Mini-publics are forums that include a cross-section of the population selected through civic lottery to participate in evidence-informed deliberation in order to inform policy and action. They can be organized for a range of purposes and at different stages of the policy process, such as generating policy ideas, assessing options, designing interventions, or evaluating policy action. They can also address dilemmas, uncertainties, and trade-offs that arise in complex and contested policy issues.
In this webinar, you will learn more about these two innovative resources and how they can help you design and implement mini-publics in your context. You will also have the opportunity to interact with the authors and the external editorial board of the documents, as well as hear about their experiences and lessons learned from applying mini-publics in different settings and stages of the policy process.

Ontario Health released an updated Hypertension quality standard in February 2024. This webinar will introduce the new standard and highlight important opportunities to improve care for people with hypertension in Ontario. Hypertension is the most common modifiable risk factor for death or disability, and two-thirds of people in Ontario aged 65 years and older had a diagnosis of hypertension in 2021. Ontario data show that to improve patient outcomes, better care is needed for people with hypertension. The quality standard describes seven key opportunities to improve care.
This one-credit-per-hour Group Learning program has been certified by the College of Family Physicians of Canada and the Ontario Chapter for up to six Mainpro+® credits.
