Canadian Council of the Blind

Time to fill out this survey and share it with some of your networks: https://ca.surveygizmo.com/s3/50057094/Accessible-Canada-Act-Survey 

It comes together from Holland Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital and Reena in Toronto. The survey is to see if there needs to be more education on the Accessible Canada Act nationwide. They are looking to get input from across different regions in Canada. Once all the data is collected by HB and Reena, it will be provided to all parties running in the Federal Election with a public perspective on how to improve the Accessible Canada Act.

It is open to people all Canadians and residents, whether or not they identify as having a disability.

Feel free to share it with your colleagues too!

The GI Society recently launched a survey on patient opinions and outlook regarding biologic medications, including biosimilars.

They’re inviting Canadian patients, from all disease areas, treated with biologic medications. They will use the information gathered anonymously and in aggregate to shape future programming and to inform community members, healthcare professionals, and health policy decision-makers.

Hi All,

There is a new treatment approved by Health Canada and soon CADTH will be requesting patient group feedback to get it listed/recommended for the provincial formularies. To this end we will be working with Fighting Blindness Canada on a joint submission and to do this we need to have survey data.

Have your say and fill in the survey by following the link below.
