Getting a Grip on Arthritis: A National Primary Health Care Community Initiative
Getting a Grip on Arthritis marks the first time The Arthritis Society
has implemented a Canada-wide arthritis training program for health care providers. The program will enhance the skills of primary health care providers and improve their ability to diagnose the disease and provide helpful advice to patients. Health care providers will also learn about local community resources
and about the importance of early referral to a specialist for people with more
severe arthritis. Contact: Sydney Lineker, Director Tel: 416-979-3353 ext 342

The Collaboration Toolkit is now available for your reading pleasure. This toolkit contains our last research report—Interdisciplinary Primary Health Care: Finding the Answers—and a vast warehouse containing tools that have been designed across the country to support interdisciplinary practices. The Collaboration Toolkit offers practical tips and tools such as checklists, vision and policy statements, floor plans, transfer of function agreements, and many others. It is a must-read for anyone considering—or involved in—interdisciplinary care.
