Building on the calls to action established through UBC Health-hosted dialogue events (2021-2024), Bridging Research and Action connected partners from across BC’s health system to explore how research insights could be translated through dialogue into actionable strategies to improve health across the province. This event brought together diverse perspectives and sectors to catalyze the integration of research and innovation into practice and develop shared aims for implementation.
During this two-day event, we:
- Showcased Interdisciplinary Health Research and Innovations: Learning from current research, innovations and impact guided discussions about how to mobilize knowledge and implement approaches to develop transformative solutions across disciplines and sectors.
- Facilitated Connection and Dialogue: Participants will engage in dynamic panels, interactive workshops, and working groups to tackle complex health challenges, co-created actionable strategies, and catalyzed cross-campus and sector partnerships.
- Built Collaborations and Drove Change: The event fostered collaborations between researchers, healthcare providers, policymakers, practitioners, and community members to establish shared goals and leave with actionable opportunities to integrate results from research into practice.
This event welcomed healthcare providers, health administrators, health researchers, policymakers, patient and community partners and other interest holders committed to bridging the knowledge-to-action gap in BC.
