SUMMARY:LEPH 2018 - 4th International Conference - Toronto\, Ontario
DESCRIPTION:Fourth International Conference on Law Enforcement & Public Health\nA conference exploring the complex and diverse intersections of law enforcement and public health\nChestnut Conference Centre\, University of Toronto \n89 Chestnut Street \nToronto\, Ont \nOctober 21-24th\, 2018\n  \n \nLEPH2018 is a must attend conference for you. Be part of this biennial conference exploring the complex and diverse intersections of law enforcement and public health\, involving practitioners\, policy makers and researchers from these and other related sectors. \nRegistration is now open! https://leph2018toronto.com/registrations/ \nUnderstanding this common ground is critically important\, with many current social\, humanitarian\, security and broad public health issues requiring an inter-sectoral approach. In this emerging field it is important to bring together practitioners\, policymakers and academics to explore the nature of the myriad interactions between police and public health. Together we can start to dissect the issues and answer questions like: \n  \n\nWhy is the obvious intersection of law enforcement (especially police) and public health so inadequately recognised and poorly understood?\nWhy is the marginalisation of certain populations the enemy of security and health?\nCan inclusive policing really work to overcome marginalisation?\nWhat actually works ‘on the ground’ and in practice?\nCan you help build police-public health partnerships that are effective\, accountable\, sustainable and inclusive?\n\n  \nLEPH2018 moves the discussion from Description (LEPH2012)\, Analysis (LEPH2014) and Action (LEPH2016) to Leadership in Policy and Practice (LEPH2018). The Conference Program will be heavily weighted towards promoting collaborative action – in practice\, research\, policy development and in the integration of these three elements. \nTo find all conference related information and to register: https://leph2018toronto.com/ \n

SUMMARY:4th Fuse International Conference
DESCRIPTION:4th Fuse International Conference\nOn Knowledge Exchange in Public Health\n  \nResearch evidence for healthy public policy: Learning across jurisdictions and sectors\n \n  \nClick here to see the event poster. \n  \nAround the world\, communities\, regions and countries strive to have plans in place to guide their efforts to promote and protect the health of their citizens and prevent illness. Good public policy is integral to the success of those plans\, but developing policies in public health is not an easy task. What are the best ways to define how to structure the delivery\, funding\, and prioritizing of population and public health There are many factors to consider: competing priorities\, constrained resources\, inter-sectoral barriers\, ideology\, changing structures\, public opinion\, and increasingly complex problems for which solutions are not obvious. Research evidence is an ideal foundation for good policy\, but more effort is needed to integrate all forms of evidence\, including conflicting evidence\, to support policy-making. \n  \nFuse 2018 will focus on how best to produce\, integrate and communicate research evidence to develop and evaluate policies in public health. \n  \nTogether\, we will explore the use of research evidence in public health policy-making from around the world to discover what’s working\, what’s not\, and the trends\, issues\, and policy-related challenges across jurisdictions and sectors. There will be a focus on both the practice and the science behind using evidence to inform public health policies. \n  \nPresentations from various jurisdictions will focus on:\n\nEconomic evidence\nPractice-based evidence\nCommunicating evidence\nDiversity in public health policy\nPartnerships between researchers and policy makers\n\n  \n  \nFuse 2018 is open to researchers\, policy makers\, public health practitioners and other research users with an interest in public and population health. Participants will learn from keynote presentations\, debate panels\, abstract presentations and from each other about public and community engagement\, data\, public and patient involvement\, inter-sectoral partnerships\, the complexity and impact of jurisdictional issues\, and perspectives on the most effctive ways of incorporating evidence into the process of policy-making. \n  \nJOIN US:\nMay 8-10\, 2018\nCoast Coal Harbour Hotel\nVancouver\, BC\nClick here to register!\n2018FuseConference.com\nTwitter: #FuseKEC18\n  \nInterested in sponsoring the conference?

We started examining this new leadership style during our summer school and we look forward to delving deeper into transformative leadership and practice and its applications through different areas of public health\, including but not limited to; Child & Youth Health\, Indigenous Health\, Planetary Health-Healthy Built Environments\, and Immigrant & Refugee Health. \nThis two-day conference is a unique combination of key-note presentations\, case studies\, symposia and hands on workshops that dive into the meaning of transformative practice and social innovation and its applications across multiple sectors in public health. The PHABC Conference provides the opportunity for professionals throughout the province to meet\, mingle\, and learn. \n  \nOn the evening of November 15th\, 2017 we will be hosting a Public Forum at the Morris J Wosk Centre for Dialogue to celebrate the launch of the conference and the one year anniversary of Bridge 4 Health. please click here to be redirected to our Eventbrite page for more information and to register for this free event! \n  \nWe are excited to announce the release or our program schedule-at-a-glance\, check it out by clicking here \n  \nWe welcome participants who are working directly or indirectly on public health issues and health promoting activities across our province\, including but not limited to: \n\n\n\nPublic Health Professionals\nRecreation Practitioners\n\n\nFrontline Health Providers\nProgram & Project Planners\n\n\nMunicipal Council Members\nHealth Educators\n\n\nAcademics & Researchers\nPolicy Analysts\n\n\nGraduate & Medical Students\nCommunity Health Workers\n\n\n\n  \nWhy Attend?\nThis two-day conference is a unique collaboration of key-note presentations\, case studies and hands on workshops that dive into the meaning of transformative practice and social innovation and its applications across multiple sectors in public health.

SUMMARY:2016 PHABC Conference - Call for Abstracts
DESCRIPTION:Strengthening Healthy Development: Education and Public Health in Partnership \nDecember 11-12\, 2016\nSheraton Airport Hotel\n7551 Westminster Hwy\, Richmond\, BC \n Call for Abstracts \nONLINE SUBMISSION: opens August 15th   \nOnline Submission Form \nSUBMISSION DEADLINE: September 15th\, 2016 at 5:00 pm \n The Public Health Association of British Columbia is hosting its annual conference for 2016. This year’s theme is “Strengthening Healthy Development: Education and Public Health in Partnership.” This 2016 conference takes place on the 30th anniversary of the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion\, a foundational document within the Public Health sector. The Charter recognized that health promotion cannot be achieved by the health sector acting alone and that health promotion involved advocating for structural change and nurturing individual empowerment to allow individuals\, families and communities to increase control over their health and well-being. \nLikewise\, education is not limited to a single sector. Here we include both formal and informal education\, from early childhood to old age – in other words\, lifelong learning. At the same time\, we have a particular focus on the main settings for formal education – schools (K-12) as well as preschool settings\, and post-secondary education. \nWe recognize that the health and education sectors have different but complementary objectives; improving the health of learners contributes to improved learning outcomes\, while better education improves health. These themes are reflected throughout the conference planning and program. \nPurpose: \nTo create a forum for deliberative dialogue and respectful exchange of ideas related to the intersections of public health and education\, in order to build meaningful collaboration\, mutual understanding and support between the public health and education communities in achieving well-being for all.\nTo view the full call for abstracts
