July Knowledge Translation Update
Coming Soon – Series of Webinars on Knowledge Translation
Knowledge translation (KT) is a dynamic and iterative process that includes dissemination of knowledge to provide more effective health services and products, and to strengthen the health care system [1]. KT products (e.g., leaflets, videos, websites) are important tools to inform health care providers, patients and families about the process of KT, thereby ensuring that they have the confidence and knowledge needed to bring their expertise forward to guide discussions and inform decisions regarding health care, research, and therapy development for Canadians living with Neuromuscular Diseases (NMD).
The NMD4C is excited to announce the launch of a series of webinars that will support KT abilities, with the first webinar to be held on Wednesday, September 29th.
Please stay tuned for more details to come!
