SUMMARY:36th International Seating Symposium
DESCRIPTION:36th International Seating Symposium\nMarch 3-6\, 2020\nThe Westin Bayshore\, Vancouver\, BC\n  \nThis international symposium addresses current and future developments in the areas of seating\, positioning and mobility. Topic areas include service delivery\, product development\, research and outcomes. The format for the symposium will include pre-symposium\, plenary\, instructional\, paper and poster sessions. \n  \n  \nAbstract Submission \nAbstract Submission is now open! Please visit: http://seatingsymposium.com/call-for-abstracts.php for instructions before submitting. \n  \n\n  \nAbout the ISS \nThe International Seating Symposium (ISS) is considered one of the premier meetings in the world of dedicated clinicians\, researchers\, manufacturers\, and others who work to improve seating and mobility among people with disabilities. \n  \nVancouver’s Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children (SHHC) and the University of British Columbia celebrated the 30th International Seating Symposium in Vancouver in March 2014. It was a journey that started in 1982. The members of the Vancouver Seating Special Interest group had a desire to learn more about this intriguing subject of seating and mobility. They decided that the best way of learning more about seating and mobility was to bring the experts to them. Getting funding to host the first conference was a challenge but the BC Kinsmen Foundation took the risk. Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children took the lead in organizing the first symposium. The initial organizers\, Lori Roxborough\, Daphne Neen\, Maureen Story\, Bob Gobert\, Elaine Liau and Dr. Stephen Tredwell brought clinicians\, researchers and exhibitors together to develop resources\, and create a forum that fostered an exchange of ideas and created a network focused on seating and mobility. \n  \nIn 1986 Sunny Hill Health Centre for Children was approached by Doug Hobson of the University of Tennessee\, Memphis with the proposal of forming a partnership. The 3rd ISS was held in Memphis in 1987. Our partnership has continued with ISS being held in Vancouver on the even years and in the USA (University of Tennessee then University of Pittsburgh) on the odd years. \n  \nThis initial meeting in 1983 had 98 participants and 11 exhibitors with a real focus on “seating the disabled”. In 2014 we’ve grown to 1138 participants from 27 countries and over 100 exhibitors. We have partner conferences around the world including U.S.\, Ireland\, Brazil\, and Asia. \n  \n\n  \nFind more information and event updates at www.seatingsymposium.com. \n  \n  \nQuestions?

SUMMARY:National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health - Healthy Built Environment Forum Webinar
DESCRIPTION:National Collaborating Centre for Environmental Health\nHealthy Built Environment Forum Webinar\nA Whole Systems Approach to Health Equity and Housing\n  \nPresenter:  \nRabindra (Rob) Mahabeer MSc. CIPHI(C)\nPublic Health Inspector\, Alberta Health Services \nTueday\, March 17\, 2020\n11 AM – 12:30 PM Pacific Time\n \n  \nHealth equity impacts housing in multiple ways. A population\, community\, and individual’s physical and social determinants of health interact with health inequities to produce measurable health inequalities often demonstrated through unsafe and unhealthy housing conditions. Environmental Public Health must be able to strategically adapt to working at all levels to fully address this complex situation. A whole systems approach understands that multi-level engagement opportunities exist and are met differently. Mediating strategy through evidence-informed policy is important. Gathering\, collating\, and synthesizing data to provide evidence is fundamental. Operational-based evidence presented in a cohesive and easily understood manner drives the iterative policymaking process. Using a single data structure\, coordinating population- and individual-level engagement\, and understanding health inequities are cornerstones of a whole-systems approach. \n  \nAlberta public health inspectors have regulatory authority to inspect rental accommodations and are often requested to advise on private housing. Acting from both a proactive and reactive posture\, inspectors adopt both an enforcement and engagement role. This webinar will examine how health inspectors and other public health professionals can assess and identify health inequities associated with housing. The discussion portion will focus on how to apply evidence into action. \n  \nPresenter Bio \n  \nRob Mahabeer is a public health inspector with 17 years’ experience in Food Safety/Special Projects (Capital Health/Alberta Health Services)\, and Health Education (AHS: Knowledge Management and Learning). Rob worked emergencies and disasters in Anzac (2002)\, Calgary/High River (2014)\, and Fort MacMurray (2016). He completed a Master’s degree in Health Promotion at the University of Alberta in 2013 focusing on Health Promotion in Environmental Public Health Practice. Health equity is a dual and complementary process to health promotion\, not only enabling healthy choices but also understanding why making those choices and lifestyle changes is more difficult for some than others. Rob believes that public health inspectors are uniquely positioned to work with public\, governmental\, and non-governmental organizations to identify and facilitate health equity. \n  \nWebinar Format \n  \nThe presentation portion will be approximately 30 minutes\, followed by 45 minutes of Q&A and discussion questions. Participants will be able to chat via the chat box.
