The CAPTURE Project Fireside Chat
Friday, November 18th, 2011
1:00 p.m. – 2:00 p.m. Eastern
Session Title: (Shared) Knowledge is Power!
Subtitle: Introducing a FREE web-based platform to reflect upon and share our practice-based learnings of what works and how to strengthen local interventions.
Brief Description:
Imagine being part of a national community where you have easy access to others in your field of interest and can share information and learnings about your respective programs, policies or initiatives.
CAPTURE (The Canadian Platform to Increase Usage of Real-world Evidence) recently launched a freely accessible, web-based repository for finding and sharing practice-based evidence in health promotion and chronic disease prevention. Looking beyond the published literature, CAPTURE seeks to harness the breadth of public health knowledge and experience.
The CAPTURE Platform facilitates:
- Connecting with colleagues around the corner or across the country
- Sharing knowledge and wisdom from our health promotion and chronic disease prevention experiences
- Documenting reflective practice learnings – knowledge which often remains untapped or difficult to find
This Fireside Chat will feature:
- An orientation to the CAPTURE Platform
- Guidelines to capture and share ‘tacit’ knowledge
- How to enter the CAPTURE10-minute Challenge – and win an iPad 2!
