Healthy Discussions: Using Antibiotics Wisely
Did you know that antimicrobial resistance (AMR) causes drugs that we rely on, such as antibiotics, to become ineffective and infections to become increasingly difficult or impossible to treat? In fact, the World Health Organization has declared that AMR is one of the top global public health threats. November 18-24 is World AMR Awareness Week. Join us for a Healthy Discussion about how and why we must using antibiotics more wisely in order to preserve their effectiveness for the future.
Healthy Discussions: Low-Value Care
Low-value care describes tests and treatments that are commonly ordered despite clear evidence that they do not help with patient care. In fact, many of these unnecessary tests and treatments can be harmful to patients, the system, and the environment. Join us for a discussion with Choosing Wisely Canada’s Wendy Levinson about reducing low-value care while still ensuring that patients receive the appropriate care they need.
