A cancer diagnosis can cause anxiety and fear for patients and their families. This can be heightened when faced with all of the treatment options, such as Radiation Therapy (RT), and diagnostic tests. Research shows that most patients know very little about RT, so it is important to ensure patients have the information they need prior to treatment.
The BC Cancer Practice-based Research Challenge program offers nursing and allied health clinicians who have little or no research experience the opportunity to learn basic research skills and work with a mentor to develop a small research project that has potential to improve clinical practice and patient outcomes.
The BC Cancer Nursing and Allied Health Research and Knowledge Translation department in partnership with Dr. Annette Browne of the Cancer Health Equity Collaborative and UBC Critical Research in Health and Healthcare Inequities (CRiHHI), is pleased to invite you to the following presentation on February 13th 2023: Applying a Substance Use Health Lens in Health Service Delivery: Innovations and Implications in Support of Health Equity
The BC Cancer Practice-based Research Challenge is an innovative approach to research training that empowers teams of BC Cancer staff to identify clinical questions at the point of care and find evidence-informed answers through research. This annual program offers nursing and allied health professionals with limited or no research experience the opportunity to learn basic research skills. Five teams representing a mix of disciplines from across BC Cancer were selected to receive funding as part of the 2022 program.
