Patients Included National Scholarships
Solutions for Kids in Pain (SKIP), in partnership with the Centre for Pediatric Pain Research (CPPR) and the Pain in Child Health (PICH) training program, is proud to host a Pain Education Day, “Knowledge Mobilization: Taking Evidence Outside of the Box.”
The event will take place in Halifax, Nova Scotia on Sunday, October 1st 2023, as part of the International Symposium on Pediatric Pain and will provide a deep dive into knowledge mobilization.
Knowledge mobilization is a process that ensures current knowledge around a particular topic reaches the people who need it the most.
Knowledge mobilization is a process that ensures current knowledge around a particular topic reaches the people who need it the most.
The event is open to anyone who wants to make a difference for children in pain: patient/caregiver partners, researchers, health professionals from all disciplines, administrators, policymakers, trainees, and others. Attendees will learn how to bridge the gaps between research and practice, and policy.
The Pain Education Day is Patients Included. This means patients have participated in the design and planning of the event and will be speaking at and attending the event. The disability and accessibility requirements of attendees will be accommodated, and all sessions will be open to registered patient/caregiver partners. The event will be live-tweeted tweeted by SKIP to enable access to the event content for those unable to attend.
