The Forum is used to advance CPHA policy activities by facilitating an exchange of ideas, promoting discussion and soliciting feedback regarding public health policy issues. It is your chance to get involved in policy development and advocacy by identifying important and/or emerging public health trends and issues, and providing input to guide future actions by the Association. Both CPHA members and non-members are welcome to participate! Moderator: * Erica Di Ruggiero, Chair, Canadian Public Health Association 11:00 – 12:30 Salon 4 (Meeting Level) PLANNED SESSION – CIHI-CPHI Using Deliberative Processes to Inform the Development and Application of Knowledge Syntheses Synthesizing and communicating knowledge about interventions that improve or safeguard the health of populations are complex tasks, becoming ever more challenging as knowledge increases. CIHI-CPHI and NCCHPP have developed methods for synthesizing policy-relevant knowledge, each incorporating deliberative processes as a key step in the process. The purpose of this session is to draw on the knowledge and experience of both organizations to introduce and explore the practice of using deliberative processes to inform knowledge creation, synthesis and communication as well as policy development. Participants will learn about recent work involving methods for analyzing and synthesizing knowledge on policies that influence healthy and sustainable environments. The session will include large group discussion focused specifically on different ways to approach deliberative processes as well as the challenges, merits, and potential for this method and other knowledge exchange activities to create and advance public health knowledge. Learning Objectives: * Recognize the benefits of deliberative processes and other knowledge exchange activities for creating knowledge in their own right; * Build an understanding of the use of deliberative processes and expert consultations to enhance knowledge synthesis work; * Increase knowledge of recent work from both the NCCHPP and CIHI-CPHI on synthesizing knowledge on public policy and using deliberative dialogue to enhance a scoping review method; * Learn some tips and tricks for conducting deliberative processes and consultation. Speakers: * Florence Morestin, Research Officer, National Collaborating Centre for Healthy Public Policy * Karen Weir, Program Lead, Canadian Population Health Initiative, Canadian Institute for Health Information 11:00 – 12:30 Salon 8 (Meeting Level) WORKSHOP Preparing for the Next Public Health Emergency: Principles for Effective Exercise Design Public health emergencies can materialize without warning within a very short period of time, as evidenced by the 2009 H1N1 pandemic. The capability of a health care organization to respond effectively to a health emergency rests upon its degree of preparedness. By designing emergency management exercises that test and validate response plans, health care organizations can ensure they are prepared to provide the leadership required to meet the challenges of future public health emergencies. Participants will leave with an aide-mémoire and working templates to help them design a simple tabletop exercise in their workplace. Learning Objectives: * Describe the various types of exercises and explain their importance within a comprehensive exercise program; * Explain the exercise development cycle; * Identify specific organizational exercise priorities and describe why these areas would benefit; * Design a simple Tabletop Exercise. Speaker: * Yves Panneton, Senior Program Officer – Exercise Unit, Centre for Emergency Preparedness and Response, Public Health Agency of Canada 22 CPHA 2012 ANNUAL CONFERENCE FINAL PROGRAM
11:00 – 12:30 Salon 12 (Meeting Level) WORKSHOP The Canadian Environmental Health Atlas: A Tool for Interdisciplinary Collaboration The Canadian Environmental Health Atlas is a synthesis of epidemiological data, profiles of leading figures, mapping methods, graphics and videos to illustrate the impact of environment on health in Canada. The aims of the Atlas are to: 1) raise awareness of the myriad ways that environmental influences affect human health; 2) highlight the importance of environmental health in health promotion and disease prevention; and 3) build a common vocabulary for interdisciplinary communication and collaboration in public health. This workshop will explore the creation, evolution and design of the Atlas. Participants will be asked to reflect and dialogue about: a) sources of environmental health data; b) use of figures, maps and videos for raising awareness and presenting solutions to researchers, practitioners and decision-makers; c) the challenges of writing and communicating to various audiences; and d) resources and opportunities for interdisciplinary dialogue and collaboration. Learning Objectives: * Learn about the Canadian Environmental Health Atlas Project and resources available to public health professionals, researchers, decision-makers, and academics; * Reflect on the myriad ways the environment impacts health and how interdisciplinary activities have led to public health successes in Canada; * Discuss how the lessons from the Canadian Environmental Health Atlas project can be applied to effectively and persuasively communicate environmental public health concepts to diverse audiences. Representing the Atlas Team: * Bruce Lanphear, Project Author, Simon Fraser University * Hannah Moffatt, Project Coordinator, Simon Fraser University Wednesday 11:00 – 12:30 Salon 10 (Meeting Level) WORKSHOP Minding the Gap: Cultural Competency as a Tool to Address Indigenous Health Disparities in Canada The Provincial Health Service Authority’s Indigenous Cultural Competency training program is an instructional model of cultural competency education that is transforming health care practice and reducing systemic health inequities by increasing practitioners’ Indigenous-focused knowledge, enhancing self-awareness, and developing skills for culturally competent practice. The goal of this session is to provide a brief historical overview of the ICC program and explore three core components of culturally competent practice. This will be accomplished by highlighting interactive features of this online training program and demonstrating how this unique platform creates a safe space for practitioners to engage in self-exploration around their own biases, assumptions, and stereotyping of Indigenous peoples. Participants will be introduced to the dominant societal discourses that can interfere with culturally competent care, and our knowledge of facilitating these “courageous conversations” will be shared. This workshop will also present techniques for translating these learnings into action with Indigenous clients. Learning Objectives: * Identify and describe the three core components of the Indigenous Cultural Competency (ICC) training program; * Discuss how common societal ‘discourses’ (biases, assumptions, and stereotyping of Indigenous peoples) can inform participants’ individual practice and interfere with the provision of culturally competent care; * Describe techniques for culturally competent practice and apply these learnings to interactions with Indigenous clients in professional practice settings. Speakers: * Leslie Varley, Director, Aboriginal Health, Provincial Health Services Authority * Cheryl Ward, Provincial Lead, Indigenous Cultural Competency Training, Provincial Health Services Authority FINAL PROGRAM CPHA 2012 ANNUAL CONFERENCE 23
