Dr Estabrooks on CBC Radio
TREC's Scientific Director, Dr Carole Estabrooks, was interviewed on CBC Radio's Cross Country Checkup with Duncan McCue on Sunday June 24, 2018. The episode was titled, Nursing homes: Do you trust the level of care? The entire two hour episode is stimulating but if you are interested in Dr Estabrooks' remarks, skip ahead to 1:26:00 if you are listening, or 1:32:50 if you are watching.

We hosted
TMS summits & SCOPE congresses
As part of our TREC Measurement System (TMS) project, we feed back some research finding to our participants after each wave of data collection. In May and June we hosted summits to tell our participants what we discovered. As TMS wraps up for the season, our SCOPE project is rolling out. SCOPE recently hosted meetings for participants to introduce them to the study and outline the quality improvement process.

Our AGM keynote speaker, Dr Vincent Mor, gave an engaging talk titled Tackling Quality in Nursing Homes on a Larger Scale. It was a pleasure seeing everyone, and we are already looking forward to seeing you next year!
