Alberta Injury Control Teleconference
Background
Goal
The Alberta Injury Control Teleconference arose out of a need identified by the
participants of the Injury in Alberta V Conference – to network and share
information among stakeholders in the field of injury prevention and control
across the province. There is an average of 30 ports per session with anywhere
from 40-60 participants. Results from a monthly random telephone survey
indicated that the teleconference is a useful resource for injury prevention and
control practitioners across the province and Canada wide.
To develop and maintain an information sharing network for injury control
practitioners across the province and Canada.
Objectives 1. Provide leadership and coordination in building and maintaining
information networks among injury control stakeholders and practitioners
while ensuring consistent information and effective dissemination of injury
control information and resources.
2. Provide a mechanism for timely information sharing and forum for
discussing issues of interest to injury prevention practitioners across
Canada.
3. Act as a forum for educational opportunities, information sharing and
discussion for stakeholders.
