Webinar Opportunity: Let's talk Determinants of Health and Opportunities for Public Health Action
Published on Thursday, 28 November, 2024
Let's talk determinants of health and opportunities for public health action
National Collaborating Centre for the Determinants of Health
December 11, 2024 | 2:30 – 4 pm ET | English
What are the factors that influence health? And, what are the opportunities for integrated, networked public health action at multiple levels?
In this webinar, the authors of Let's Talk: Determinants of health will describe the structural, social and ecological determinants of health and reflect on the wider forces and systems that interact with the conditions of daily life to create health inequities. A tree metaphor will be used to convey these terms and move from understanding to reflection to application of practices to address the underlying drivers of health inequities.
Les déterminants de la santé et les possibilités de mesures de santé publique : Parlons-en
Centre de collaboration nationale des déterminants de la santé
11 décembre 2024 | 14 h 30 – 16 h HE | Anglais
Quels sont les facteurs qui influencent la santé? Et quelles sont les possibilités de mesures de santé publique intégrées et en réseau à plusieurs niveaux?
Dans ce webinaire, les auteurs de Déterminants de la santé : Parlons-en décriront les déterminants structurels, sociaux et écologiques de la santé et réfléchiront aux forces et aux systèmes plus larges qui interagissent avec les conditions de la vie quotidienne. Une métaphore arborescente sera utilisée pour véhiculer ces termes et passer de la compréhension à la réflexion, puis à l’application de pratiques pour s’attaquer aux facteurs sous-jacents des iniquités en santé.

Radon Risk in the Perinatal Period: An online learning module and assessment tool
Published on Friday, 15 November, 2024
Radon, an invisible and odourless gas naturally released from rocks, soil, and water due to the decomposition of uranium, poses significant health risks. It is the leading cause of lung cancer among non-smokers, primarily when individuals are exposed to high concentrations of radon indoors over a prolonged period. Research has highlighted the need to train healthcare providers to enhance their knowledge and skills in providing information about radon, specifically within equity-seeking populations who face multiple barriers to accessing radon risk reduction resources.
The Canadian Association of Nurses for the Environment (CANE) has partnered with Health Canada to create an online Radon screening tool, which will be the focus of this presentation. We also developed an interactive module for providers to increase their capacity and confidence in using this online tool.
Join us on November 28 as we go over the interactive tool and module and discuss the project's next steps!

Compétences essentielles en santé publique au Canada 2024
Vous êtes invité à participer à un sondage en ligne pour valider une version préliminaire des Compétences essentielles en santé publique au Canada 2024. Le sondage vise à évaluer le degré de consensus et à recueillir de la rétroaction de la communauté de la santé publique canadienne. Vos commentaires serviront à mettre à jour les Compétences essentielles en santé publique au Canada 2024.
Accéder au sondage en ligne ici
Le sondage se déroulera jusqu’au 7 novembre 2024.
Merci de votre participation continue!
Entre septembre 2023 et avril 2024, les Centres de collaboration nationale en santé publique (CCNSP) ont tenu plus de 55 réunions participatives (en personne et virtuelles) avec plus de 2 000 membres de la communauté de la santé publique canadienne de chaque province et territoire. Des intervenant·e·s venant d’horizons variés ont fourni leurs points de vue sur les versions préliminaire des Compétences essentielles en santé publique au Canada 2024, incluant des praticien·ne·s de la santé publique, des décideur·euse·s, des responsables des politiques, des éducateur·trice·s, des chercheur·euse·s, des étudiant·e·s et des organismes communautaires ayant une influence sur la santé.
À la suite de cette vaste consultation et de revues de la littérature, une liste de compétences essentielles a été déterminée pour refléter les connaissances, les habiletés et les attitudes nécessaires pour assurer une pratique efficace en santé publique au Canada. L’équipe de projet reconnaît que cette version préliminaire de la liste de compétences essentielles présente des lacunes, et elle continue de dialoguer avec les partenaires autochtones, leaders en santé des communautés noires, les praticien·ne·s francophones et d’autres intervenants pour obtenir davantage de commentaires additionnels et spécifiques. Les commentaires seront pris en compte dans la prochaine version.

Invitation to participate: 2024 Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada
Published on Thursday, 24 October, 2024
You are invited to participate in an online survey to review the draft 2024 Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada! The survey seeks to test agreement and gather feedback from the Canadian public health community. Your feedback will be used to update the 2024 Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada.
The survey will be open until November 7, 2024.
Thank you for your continued engagement!
Between September 2023 and April 2024, National Collaborating Centres for Public Health (NCCPH) held over 55 engagement sessions (in-person and virtual) with more than 2,000 members of the Canadian public health community from every province and territory. Feedback on early drafts of the updated 2024 Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada was gathered from a broad and diverse range of perspectives – including public health practitioners, decision- and policy-makers, educators, researchers, students, and health-influencing community organizations.
Following this extensive engagement and literature reviews, a consolidated set of core competencies has been drafted that reflects essential knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for effective public health practice in Canada. The project team acknowledges there are gaps in this draft set of core competencies and continues to engage with Indigenous partners, Black Health leaders, Francophone practitioners and others to seek additional and specific input. Feedback will be incorporated into the next version.
Stay engaged in the 2024 Core Competencies for Public Health in Canada project!
Please share this invitation broadly with your colleagues, public health partners, and networks. Encourage them to sign up and complete the online survey.
