Winter 2019 Research Update
A Translating Research into Care (TRIC) grant has been awarded to a group of IWK and Dalhousie researchers for their study titled: “Nova Scotia Hip Surveillance Program for Children and Youth with Cerebral Palsy”. The goal of the study is to work with and support local health care teams to complete surveillance in the child’s home community.
“It will feel wonderful when we set this program up, because we will be more confident that we won’t miss a child,” said Barbara Kelly, instructor at the School of Physiotherapy, member of the IWK Kids Rehab Clinic team, and co-applicant of the grant. “The TRIC grant will allow us to provide input and support to local health care teams so children with cerebral palsy won’t always have to travel to the IWK.” Details...

CMAJ. 190 (49) E1434-E1440; Dec. 2018 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1503/cmaj.180198 The above paper, recently released by the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ) shows that "First Nations children and youth need better access to services for pain and mental health assessment, management and follow-up. Kudos to the almost 300 Dalhousie University students who completed Module 1 of the new course "Introduction to Cultural Safety in Healthcare for Indigenous People." It is hoped that the course that is presently offered to Nursing, Medicine and Dentistry students, will be open to more health professional students in the upcoming year. |
