over the past decade, dr. willison has published numerous international peer-reviewed journal articles and presented at over 25 conferences across canada on topics such as chronic disease management and inter-collaborative practice. he advocates for a better integration of the social sciences within community health care initiatives.
"our health care system is currently focused on acute illness and is less prepared to support chronic disease," says dr. willison. chronic diseases are defined as those lasting six or more months that have been diagnosed by a medical doctor.
"we need to be more aware of the needs and issues related to chronic disorders and develop strategies to support these patients and their families," notes dr. willison. in his talk, dr. willison will present recommendations to improve health care policy and program planning, including the need to gain greater input from people who have one or more chronic care conditions.
members of the public are encouraged to attend this free presentation and discussion. the topic will also be of interest to health care professionals and those who are directly affected by chronic disease. the presentation takes place on january 25 at 2:30 pm in room 1033 of the academic building at the university avenue campus. it will also be video-conferenced to the thunder bay campus (atac 2021).
