The National Collaborating Centre for Healthy Public Policy (NCCHPP) will 
be part of 3 different workshops on Tuesday April 3rd 2012 at The Ontario 
Public Health Convention (TOPHC). The Conference will take place in 
Toronto from April 2nd to   4th 2012.

Florence Morestin will introduce the NCCHPP?s method for synthesizing 
knowledge about public policies. Producing Knowledge Syntheses that are 
Both Rigorous and Relevant to Policy-Makers is a workshop for public 
health practitioners who deal with public policies in the context of their 
work. For a workshop description, see page 23 of the Tuesday program on 
the TOPHC website.

François-Pierre Gauvin will represent the NCCHPP with Public Health 
Ontario?s Don Willison. Their interactive workshop, Exploring Public 
Engagement Models for Public Health Policy-Making in Ontario,  will 
examine methods of public engagement, specifically citizen?s panels, to 
meaningfully inform complex and even controversial population health 
issues and policies.  
For a workshop description, see page 7 of the Tuesday program on the TOPHC

A third workshop will be presented by the NCCMT in collaboration with the 
NCCHPP, represented by François-Pierre Gauvin. They will use a 
problem-based learning approach to introduce the concept of wicked 
problems in public health. The session will explore how the contributions 
of an evidence-informed public health (EIPH) approach combined with 
deliberative processes can be a successful strategy to work through 
complex public health situations. The title of this workshop is Wicked but 
Real: Dealing with Complex Public Health Issues Using an Evidence-Informed 
Approach. For a workshop description, see page 25 of the Tuesday program 
on the TOPHC website.
