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:2018 British Columbia Science & Policy Conference - Final Call for Tickets

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?
