SUMMARY:XXII World Congress on Safety and Health at Work
DESCRIPTION:The XXII World Congress on Safety and Health at Work is a global forum for advancing worker health protection taking place every three years in a different country. Global thought leaders and experts from the international occupational safety and health community will be coming together in September 2021 to discuss Prevention in the Connected Age: Global Solutions to Achieve Safe and Healthy Work for All. \nOver the past seven decades the World Congress has marked important developments in the world of work and in prevention. The XXII World Congress will continue this tradition and bring you thought leadership\, knowledge and experience that reflects the realities of prevention in today’s world of work. \nThe theme for the XXII World Congress reflects the fact that today\, the world is highly connected. This connectivity has been enabled and accelerated through mechanisms such as global supply chains and technology allowing for the rapid exchange of data\, knowledge\, processes and practices that create challenges and opportunities for protecting the safety and health of workers. While this theme continues to be relevant\, we are now faced with a public health crisis that is changing the shape of our lives\, and our work: COVID-19. And as we all adapt to this new and evolving reality\, our plans for the XXII World Congress must also adapt. \nWe first made the decision to postpone to September 19-22\, 2021. Now\, we are exploring virtual options that will enhance the Congress programming we will be offering in Toronto\, and which will allow the World Congress to become an even more global event. We are also examining our outreach\, marketing\, and programming to make sure they are relevant\, and timely. \nFor more information visit: https://www.safety2021canada.com/

DESCRIPTION:You’re invited for our next educational webinar: \nPharmacology of Alcohol Use Disorder \nWith Dr. Tim Ayas MD FRCPC CCFP MPH BSc\nClinical Assistant Professor\, University of Calgary\nPsychiatrist\, EHN Sandstone \nAlcohol is by far the most commonly used drug by Canadians. There is relatively easy access\, it is prominent in the media\, and drinking culture often permeates the lives of young people. Moreover\, it can become an unhealthy coping mechanism – a quick and temporary solution for those under immense stress or who are struggling with mental health. “In 2017\, the rate of hospitalizations entirely caused by alcohol (249 per 100\,000) was comparable to the rate of hospitalizations for heart attacks (243 per 100\,000) and the rate was thirteen times higher than for opioids.” (Canadian Centre for Substance Use and Addiction) With the pressures of the COVID-19 pandemic\, the problem has only continued to worsen. \nIn this webinar\, Dr. Tim Ayas takes our attention back to alcohol\, one of the oldest sources of substance addiction. Join us for this educational session on alcohol use disorder\, what it is and how to medically approach treatment\, presented by one of our experienced psychiatrists based at EHN Sandstone in Calgary\, AB. \nThe discussion points in this webinar include: \n\nDefinition and epidemiology of Alcohol Use Disorder\nImpact of COVID-19 on Alcohol Use Disorder\nEvidence-based overview of pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic treatments\nIntroduction to local treatment programs\n\nWebinar Info: \nDate: Thursday June 17th\nTime: 12pm – 1pm EST (9am – 10am PST)\nCost: COMPLIMENTARY \nThis webinar provides 1.0 CEU credits recognized by: \n\nCACCF (Canadian Addiction Counsellors Certification Federation)\nCCPA (Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association)\nMDPAC (Medical Psychotherapy Association Canada)\nCVRP (College of Vocational Rehabilitation Professionals)\n\nTo learn more or register\, click the link below:\nhttps://ehncanada.zoom.us/webinar/register/7116228428126/WN_esE3FCfJTIGcWP1CBlpDgw \nSincerely\, \nDr. Suanne Wong MBBS\nEHN Canada\nswong@ehncanada.com\nwww.ehncanada.com \n

SUMMARY:Webinar - Network Education Session: Leading Change through COVID-19: Moving from a Face-to-Face National Conference to a Virtual Event
DESCRIPTION:The Network Advisory Committee is scheduling its first educational session. These session are a result of the feedback we received from the Learning Needs Assessment Survey. Attached are instructions on how to join the webinar session. \nThe webinar will be held on April 14 from 7 to 8 pm ET. \nWhen in a leadership position\, you can experience times of exhilaration and success\, but there can also be times of concern and crisis which call for immediate action and change. During the recent rapid onset of COVID-19\, and the need for social distancing\, the face to face national conference of Nurses Specialized in Wound\, Ostomy and Continence Canada (NSWOCC) was quickly moved to a Virtual Event in order to meet the continuing education needs of the nurse members. There was also a large financial implication to the association that had to be navigated. Decisions had to be made quickly and deliberately and chaos needed to be minimized. In addition to the NSWOCC Board of Directors and members\, the registered delegates\, speakers and corporate sponsors/exhibitors had to be communicated with and a plan had to be put into place that met their needs. Through careful strategizing\, the crisis was turned into an opportunity for growth\, development and innovation to support the future success of the association. \nObjectives: \n\nProvide information on the steps that were taken within ten days to make this major change from a face to face to virtual conference including the communication plan\nDiscuss the financial implications to the association including terminating contracts\, maintaining and growing sponsors /exhibitors\, and managing registration fees\nDemonstrate the Virtual Event website including the Virtual Exhibit Hall and Virtual Poster Library in order to share ideas\nIdentify the process for evaluation of this Virtual Event\n\nPresented by: \nCatherine Harley\, RN\, IIWCC\, eMBA\nChief Executive Officer\, NSWOCC \nTroy Curtis\, BHum (hons)\nManager of Membership & Communications\, NSWOCC \nPlease RSVP your participation through this event.
