CPHA Evidence in Action: National Collaborating Centres Working With You
![]()
Interested in hearing about ways in which your colleagues have used resources from the National Collaborating Centres for Public Health? This 90-minute interactive session will provide participants with the opportunity to interact with colleagues from across the country who have been advancing public health programs and policies to improve the health of Canadians through the use of resources available from the six National Collaborating Centres.
This session will be formatted such that there will be six tables; each NCC will be at a table with a colleague from public health who, in LESS than 10 minutes, will share their story of how they used that particular NCC’s resource to move evidence into practice. The subsequent 20 minutes will be used for an interactive exchange among participants at the table. Participants will have the opportunity to select the two NCC tables of interest to them. The session will close with the opportunity for participants to share with the NCCs any needs they have identified that would facilitate the use of evidence in their practice.
Learning Objectives:
* Illustrate the relevance and potential use of NCC products/resources/services in their practice.
* Recognize the value of using evidence in decisions related to public health policy and practice.
* Discover an expanded network of public health colleagues.
