Networking is an active process of engagement with key stakeholders in women’s health as well as key audiences for BCCEWH research and policy advice. It facilitates the BCCEWH aims to enhance understanding of women’s health, to increase attention to women’s health issues and to enhance the responsiveness of decision makers to women’s health concerns. The BCCEWH is involved in numerous committees, boards, research groups, collaborations and strategic partnerships that all serve to support the dissemination of BCCEWH findings/advice and/or inform BCCEWH activities. Networking overlaps closely with communications activities, particularly when BCCEWH staff and associates participate in conferences.
Networking also serves to generate new research opportunities, to provide opportunities to contribute policy advice and to increase the BCCEWH visibility in health research, policy and practice communities. This work plan continues a long tradition of local, regional, provincial, national and international networking by the BCCEWH. One priority this year is to strengthen the links between the Provincial Women’s Health Network, which is comprised of representatives from the Health Authorities, with researchers in women’s health through the Women’s Health Research Network of BC. |
