Community Event

#About this webinar

The World Health Organization defines social prescribing as connecting people to a range of non-clinical services in the community to improve their health and well-being. It builds on the evidence that addressing social determinants of health, such as socioeconomic status, social inclusion, housing, and education, is key to improving health outcomes. But how can we use this healthcare approach in a public health setting?

This webinar will focus on detecting, reducing, and removing fall risk hazards in the built environment. Evidence-based advocacy, educational, and behavioural approaches to reduce environmental hazards will be discussed. Find out more and register.

This webinar will explore the structured approach to medication review to improve identification of fall risk increasing drugs (FRIDs) and the role of deprescribing to reduce fall risk. Medication management considerations of fall-related injuries will be discussed in a case-based format. Find out more and register.

This webinar will review the current evidence and provide some clinical pearls of wisdom on how exercise can help to reduce the risk of falls. Dr. Ziebart specializes in working with people with osteoporosis, so specific guidelines will be shared on how exercise can help to reduce the risk of falls and fractures in the osteoporotic population. However, a broader perspective will also be discussed to make sure we reduce falls in all older adults. There will be time for questions so you can ask about how you can personalize your exercise programs and policies to reduce falls risk.

What is the relationship between integrated care and patient/caregiver engagement? How can engagement with our communities and people with lived healthcare experiences inform and improve integrated systems of care? Join us for a thought-provoking panel to learn about current practices and future directions. Learn from researchers, system leaders and patient perspectives with International and Canadian experience.

We look forward to continuing to bring our community together to learn and have an impact.

This 4-week online program with live sessions runs on Thursdays, from 1:00-2:30 pm, October 26 through November 9, 2023. 

Addressing complex global challenges like climate change, biodiversity loss, and inequality and injustice can feel impossible for individual actors and organizations, and it can be hard to know where to begin. This program aims to explore the interconnected nature of these challenges and provide systematic and accessible methods for leaders to contribute solutions through the work of their organizations.

Join research and KT leaders at ICES for an open discussion on how you can develop or learn about race and related data guidance. 

This virtual session will introduce the Guidance Document and Framework for Anti-Racist Approaches at ICES to organizations and community members interested in developing or learning about incorporating race and related data into their research or work.

The webinar will highlight the key principles and committed actions, with a focus on health equity data integration and community data governance.
