Knowledge Exchange

The field of seniors health care is rapidly expanding and evolving, meaning that we are constantly looking to adapt and improve the way we work at the front line, as well as across our teams, organizations and systems. We rely on literature-based, practice-based and lived experience evidence to guide and inform our decisions. This section of the site has two purposes:

1. to keep you in the know about the latest and greatest information related to seniors’ health; and

2. to provide a platform for discussion and exchange about hot topics in the field.
