Health Research Up For Discussion

By 250 News

Closing the gap between  research and  the doctor’s office is the focus of a three day conference in Prince George.

Health care leaders from throughout  this province,  Alberta and the Yukon  are taking part in Research Use Week.  The three day conference is designed to  bring  those on the health care front lines together with those who do the research.   The health care service providers are helping to design the  kind of studies they would like that can be  used on their day to day jobs.

It is the first meeting of its kind to focus on rural and northern health services. 

One of the  sponsors  is the  Western Regional Training Center for Health Services Research.  "We bring applied health services researchers together with healthcare leaders who rely on research to make evidence-informed decisions," said Jonathan Lomas, CHSRF’s chief executive officer.
