Healthy Discussions
Healthy Discussions is a Quality of Care NL webinar series where we have quality conversations about health, health care and social systems in Newfoundland and Labrador.
To register for an upcoming session, or watch a previously recorded session, see below.
Healthy Discussions: Aging Population
Newfoundland and Labrador has a rapidly aging population. By 2040, it is estimated that approximately 44% of the province’s population will be aged 55 or older. June is Seniors’ Month in NL! Join Quality of Care NL for a discussion about some initiatives that aim to support people as they age, including plans for improving health care for seniors and enhancing the quality of care and quality of life with better standards for long-term care.
Healthy Discussions: Social Prescribing
Social prescribing is a way to connect patients to a range of non-clinical services in the community to improve health and well-being. It can help address social issues such as loneliness or social isolation, ageism, and housing insecurity. We’re joined by guests from the Canadian Institute for Social Prescribing, a national hub that links people and shares practices on this method of care, as well as Seniors NL and Memorial University.
