KT Corner – Women's Health Research Institute

In response to a recent survey and in alignment with our strategic aim to improve Knowledge Translation (KT) activity, the WHRI offered a one-day Scientist Knowledge Translation Training (SKTT) with KT Expert, Dr. Melanie Barwick, to members on April 25^th. Dr. Barwick provided insight into KT Planning, Strategies, Implementation and Scholarship. Members finished with a KT Planning Exercise involving the KT Game. In follow-up to the event, organizer and facilitator, Nicole Prestley, has compiled a KT Toolkit which combines SKTT workshop resources and resources frequently used by the WHRI.

A KT Toolkit Dropbox Folder has been created in order to provide ongoing and up-to-date information to our members. If you would like access to the WHRI KT Toolkit Dropbox Folder or information about signing out our KT Game to use with your team please email Nicole.Prestley@cw.bc.ca.

The Women’s Health Research Institute would like to acknowledge that we are uninvited guests on the unceded ancestral territories of the xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Stó:lo, and sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-waututh) Nations.

As a provincial research institute committed to improving the health outcomes of women, including those across the 2SLGBTQIA+ spectrum, we recognize our responsibility in the collective effort towards establishing culturally safe health care systems and services that address health inequities among Indigenous peoples, especially Indigenous women, girls, and Two-spirit peoples.

We encourage all people involved in research to read both the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada: Calls to Action and the In Plain Sight Report, and reflect on ways we can incorporate the recommendations into our work. As we gather in spaces together, we encourage you to reflect on your positionality on these lands and your personal commitments to reconciliation.
