SUMMARY:Beyond Safety and Efficacy: Why Successful Commercialization Does Not Depend Only on Clinical Trials Data
DESCRIPTION:Vyxeos\, Glybera\, Exubera and Praluent are just a few examples of drugs that received market approval but had limited adoption and did not meet sales expectations. Unfortunately\, developing a safe and effective health technology does not guarantee that patients will want it\, that physicians will use it\, or that payers will pay for it. \nThis webinar will use a series of examples to review the many factors that may affect the adoption of a health technology throughout its lifecycle. \nBy the end of the webinar\, participants will be familiar with the major pitfalls in the commercialization of new health technologies and understand how to mitigate these risks by focusing on the value they deliver to key players in the healthcare ecosystem.

SUMMARY:Science Slam YVR
DESCRIPTION:For those of you who have not yet experienced the wonder of Science Slam\, welcome! We are Vancouver’s most epic science showdown. Sit back\, relax\, and watch as our competitors battle to achieve science communication fame and glory. \nWhat exactly is a science slam? Based on the format of a poetry slam\, a science slam is a competition where speakers gather to share their science with you – the audience. Competitors have five minutes to present on any science topic without the use of a slideshow and are judged based on communication skills\, audience impact and scientific content. Props and creative presentation styles are encouraged! \nWhether you’re a researcher\, student\, educator\, artist\, or communicator\, our stage is open to you. If you’ve got a science topic you’re researching\, or just a topic you’re excited about\, send in an application! If you’re not sure about an idea\, just ask us at scislamca@gmail.com! \nApplication link: https://forms.gle/y5nQZwLzVUcRiHZT9 \nWe will be accepting applications until September 23\, 2022 and will be notifying our potential Slammers by September 30 to give enough time to prepare! \nAs this event is held in October\, feel free to be inspired by the Halloween season\, although this is certainly not necessary to apply. \nYouTube channel (for creative inspiration): https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWmI8llf3pAW5xtbvnXmsog \nDoors open at 7pm\, event begins at 7:30pm. General admission $15\, first 50 tickets sold get the $12 early bird rate! \nSee you there! \nInterested in volunteering with Science Slam Canada? https://linktr.ee/scislamca \nNotes: \nThe venue is wheelchair accessible. The main cabaret room is accessible through a ramped entrance. We also have a wheelchair accessible washroom in the space as well. \nVenue is a 19+ venue with non-gendered bathrooms. \nMasks are not required but they are encouraged. \nCostumes are also not required\, but feel free to embrace the Halloween vibe by breaking out your costume early. \nScience Slam acknowledges that this event takes place on the traditional\, ancestral\, and unceded territory of the Squamish\, Sto:lo\, Musqueam\, and Tsleil Waututh Nation. Many of our attendees\, Science Slam included\, are guests of these territories and must act accordingly. \nScience Slam is an inclusive event\, as a result hate speech and abuse will not be tolerated.

DESCRIPTION:Annalijn Conklin\, PhD (Cantab.)\, MPH\, MSc (Research)\, BSc (Hons)\nScientist\, CHÉOS\nAssistant Professor\, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences\, UBC \nPartnering with patients on surgical PREhabilitation for better patient outcomes (PREP) \nPrehab is a promising but untapped strategy for abdominal operations to improve post-surgical outcomes and reduce costs — a top policy and research priority. The logic for ‘prehab’ is sufficiently compelling that expert consensus calls for a ‘bundle of care’ addressing multiple modifiable behavioural risk factors to provide stronger benefits to patients through synergistic effects on health\, and ‘prehab’ is currently being piloted in Eastern Canada and Spain. This patient-oriented feasibility study co-developed a web-based prehabilitation program with six patient partners to support colorectal surgery patients in better preparing for surgery. The new patient education website covered key lifestyle modifications\, their role in surgical outcomes\, and relevant resources for both colorectal cancer and non-cancer patients waiting for surgery\, with content drawn from expert-vetted sources\, including our scientific team. We then recruited 25 patients between January and September 2021 to explore the feasibility of providing a web-based intervention of structured support as ‘prehab’ for patients preparing for colorectal cancer surgery in BC. Our results showed that there was high demand and good acceptability of the surgical ‘prehab’ programme involving online structured self-management support\, but there was limited practicality for a telephone-based Health Coach as this service was never requested by patients despite reported interest. Our secondary research question of whether there is promise for success in improving overall patient wellbeing was not supported by the three-month follow-up health-related quality of life survey. The results of this study enabled the decision by the surgeons at PHC’s Colorectal Clinic to permanently adopt this patient-oriented website and integrate it into clinical care. \nThis is a hybrid event\, you may attend in person or virtually.

SUMMARY:WiP Seminar: Dr. Annalijn Conklin
DESCRIPTION:Annalijn Conklin\, PhD (Cantab.)\, MPH\, MSc (Research)\, BSc (Hons)\nScientist\, CHÉOS\nAssistant Professor\, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences\, UBC \nPartnering with patients on surgical PREhabilitation for better patient outcomes (PREP) \nPrehab is a promising but untapped strategy for abdominal operations to improve post-surgical outcomes and reduce costs — a top policy and research priority. The logic for ‘prehab’ is sufficiently compelling that expert consensus calls for a ‘bundle of care’ addressing multiple modifiable behavioural risk factors to provide stronger benefits to patients through synergistic effects on health\, and ‘prehab’ is currently being piloted in Eastern Canada and Spain. This patient-oriented feasibility study co-developed a web-based prehabilitation program with six patient partners to support colorectal surgery patients in better preparing for surgery. The new patient education website covered key lifestyle modifications\, their role in surgical outcomes\, and relevant resources for both colorectal cancer and non-cancer patients waiting for surgery\, with content drawn from expert-vetted sources\, including our scientific team. We then recruited 25 patients between January and September 2021 to explore the feasibility of providing a web-based intervention of structured support as ‘prehab’ for patients preparing for colorectal cancer surgery in BC. Our results showed that there was high demand and good acceptability of the surgical ‘prehab’ programme involving online structured self-management support\, but there was limited practicality for a telephone-based Health Coach as this service was never requested by patients despite reported interest. Our secondary research question of whether there is promise for success in improving overall patient wellbeing was not supported by the three-month follow-up health-related quality of life survey. The results of this study enabled the decision by the surgeons at PHC’s Colorectal Clinic to permanently adopt this patient-oriented website and integrate it into clinical care. \nThis is a hybrid event\, you may attend in person or virtually.
