Conference information
New date - December 7-9, 2021
Due to concerns around the COVID-19 pandemic rescheduling the conference to December 7-9, 2021 is the best way to proceed. This will ensure the conference stays true to its objectives focused on facilitating networking, knowledge sharing and inspiring new ideas in a safe way for conference participants.
We will continue to highlight and celebrate northern research and quality projects and encourage you to join our regular monthly Brown Bag Series and Health Research Seminar Series.
The objectives of the conference are to:
- Celebrate and share research, quality improvement, evaluation, and implementation of evidence in a northern and rural context
- Support the development of research, quality improvement, evaluation, and evidence-informed practice skills
- Facilitate networking and knowledge sharing
- Inspire new ideas and encourage diverse partnerships and broaden the involvement of different stakeholders invested in the health of northerners.
The conference is open to researchers, students, health authority employees, health care practitioners, patient partners, and community organizations. Stay tuned for more details to come.
