Nightingale Initiative for Global Health - Nurses' Voices Speaker Series
2023-10-24 12:00 - 13:00
The world’s nurses have been enduring ceaseless challenges from the overwhelmed health care system—resulting in burn-out. This was further exacerbated by the most recent COVID-19 pandemic that strained the front-line nurses worldwide. Even as nurses have been appreciated and widely trusted for this service—their public voices are still rarely heard. The absence of nursing’s voice contributes to the fact that nurses continue to be undervalued.

This ‘Nurses’ Voices Speakers’ Series’ will continue our innovative global multi-media outreach to prepare and engage nurses, including students and retirees, to become empowered leading public storytellers and to share their stories of advocating for healing, resilience, and collaboration for a healthy world—as thought-leaders across the global public space and to the listening ears of everyone!

Reducing our environmental impact in primary care
2023-11-07 09:00 - 17:00
Join Ilona Hale, MD, to explore new ideas in environmentally sustainable practice.Going far beyond recycle bins and LED lights, the webinar will help participants see the connection between the environment and high-quality care concepts like patient-centred care, de-prescribing, and health promotion.

“Practicing high quality, low carbon care can improve patient outcomes, decrease the burden on our healthcare system, reduce provider workload and help address climate change. That’s a win-win-win!”Speaker: Ilona Hale, Family physician, East Kootenay Division of Family Practice; Assistant Clinical Professor, Department of Family Practice, University of British Columbia

Choosing Wisely Climate Webinar
2024-01-16 12:00 - 13:00
Description

Every test, treatment, and procedure has an environmental impact, contributing to material waste and carbon emissions at the point of care or across the life cycle of the products used.

In fact, as a sector, health care accounts for 5% of greenhouse gas emissions, twice the amount emitted by the aviation industry.

Reducing unnecessary tests, treatments, and procedures is therefore an opportunity to make a positive contribution towards the health of patients and the planet.

Comprendre et traiter la vulnérabilité climatique des personnes handicapées
2024-05-22 11:00 - 12:00
Les personnes handicapées sont touchées de manière disproportionnée par les effets de la crise climatique dans le monde entier. Elles sont plus nombreuses à perdre la vie lors d’événements météorologiques graves tels que les vagues de chaleur ou les ouragans. Leur santé, leur sécurité et leur accès aux biens et aux services essentiels sont également gravement menacés par les perturbations graduelles du climat comme l’augmentation des températures. La vulnérabilité climatique accrue des personnes handicapées n’est toutefois ni inévitable ni naturelle. De nombreuses données et études de cas démontrent que les effets disproportionnés des changements climatiques sur les personnes handicapées sont le résultat des barrières économiques, sociales et institutionnelles auxquelles ces personnes doivent faire face dans la société, ainsi que de leur exclusion des initiatives d’adaptation climatique.

S’appuyant sur le modèle des droits humains en matière de handicaps, le professeur Jodoin soutiendra comment les acteurs gouvernementaux sont en mesure d’évaluer et de minimiser les préjudices climatiques subis par les personnes handicapées ainsi que d’impliquer ce groupe dans la planification de l’adaptation en tant qu’expert et acteur de changement. Une approche de l’adaptation climatique qui tient compte du handicap est non seulement essentielle pour protéger la vie et la sécurité des personnes handicapées, mais aussi primordiale pour renforcer la résilience climatique de la société dans son ensemble.
