A PHPC Collaborator Session at the Canadian Public Health Association Conference* The focus of the panel will be to examine the role of public health and primary care in reducing or mitigating poverty, which is a major risk factor for poor health. Panelists will use examples of approaches at multiple levels to highlight effective interventions and identify areas for future collaboration. Public health and primary care providers need to understand better our roles: where does one sector lead, how does our work need to change and adapt, where are the opportunities for partnership, where do we need to remain vigilant and when is there a need to advocate? The introduction will orient everyone to the four different “front lines” of our work: the practice or neighbourhood, the municipal or regional, the provincial or territorial, and the national or federal levels. Speakers have been asked to identify both the gaps in collaboration and the opportunities to change current practice. The hope is that this could inform some priority next steps. Learning Objectives: • Review a range of partnership activities and their potential impact on poverty mitigation and prevention. • Identify the ways in which primary care and public health can collaborate to reduce poverty related health inequities. • Explore non-contextual barriers and facilitators to implementation. • Take home practical ideas for implementation in participants’ own local settings. Moderator: • Maura Ricketts, Past President, Health Physicians of Spain & Principal Consultant, Health Policy WORKs Inc This session is co-sponsored by the following organizations: Canadian Association of Community Health Centres, Canadian Medical Association, Canadian Public Health Association, College of Family Physicians of Canada and Health Physicians of Spain. *Please register with Public Health 2014 to attend this session. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PHPC Annual General Meeting Monday, May 26, 2014 4:00-6:00pm - Sheraton Centre Toronto, Willow Room
