CONFERENCE CHARITY: Y FIRST REACH PROGRAM
We would like to carry forward the tradition of supporting specific charities that
assist women in our community. This year we have chosen to support the First
Reach Program sponsored by the YMCA. This program is a preventative outreach
for young pregnant women focused on prenatal health. The First Reach Program
offers prenatal and postnatal support to young pregnant women who are facing
multiple conditions of risk. Client support is non-judgemental, trauma informed,
and is provided within a harm reduction approach. Practical assistance includes:
linkages to prenatal care and supports; health and nutrition; counselling and safety
planning; community referrals; transportation and housing supports; advocacy
and legal referrals.
We will have several fundraising activities over the course of the conference,
including an early morning “Toony Trot”, a silent auction, and other lively activities.
Please plan ahead and consider supporting this valuable organization that makes
a significant contribution to our community.

1. identify common complications experienced by late preterm infants
Soins du prématuré tardif
Une hausse dramatique du nombre de prématurés tardifs,
combinée à une augmentation prouvée de la morbidité
et de la mortalité au sein de cette population, a incité les
prestataires à porter une attention particulière à ce groupe
de nouveau-nés. Cette discussion se penchera sur les
raisons de la hausse du nombre de prématurés tardifs et
des zones de risque, et des suggestions fondées sur des
données probantes seront fournies pour mettre sur pied un
plan de soins axés sur cette population.
2. discuss the management of complications common to late preterm
infants

Care of the Late Preterm Infant
A dramatic increase in the number of late preterm infants combined with
evidence of increased morbidity and mortality in this population has lead
care providers to begin to pay special attention to this group of newborns.
This talk will examine the reasons for the increase in the number of LPTIs,
will discuss areas of risk and will provide evidence-based suggestions
for developing a plan of care specific to this population.

Dr. Charlotte Reading is
an Associate Professor in the
School of Public Health and
Social Policy, Faculty of Human
and Social Development, University of Victoria. Dr. Reading
has conducted research and
published in the areas of Aboriginal health, Aboriginal HIV/
AIDS, social determinants of
Aboriginal health, cultural competence, cancer among Aboriginal peoples, Aboriginal
ethics and research capacity building as well as the
sexual and reproductive health of Aboriginal women.
Reproductive and Maternal Health Issues Facing Indigenous
Women: Past, Present and Future Considerations (VCC Theatre)
The health experiences of Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit and Métis)
women are experienced within the distinct colonial, historical,
political, social and economic contexts of Indigenous life. In
particular, an understanding of reproductive and maternal health
within these populations must be situated within an Indigenous
social determinants of health framework. Through this presentation,
Dr. Reading will explore this framework, as well as the ways in which
specific social determinants produce disproportionate reproductive
and maternal health issues for Indigenous women as well as potential
trajectories of health vulnerabilities and resiliencies. This framework
also represents an essential component in the development of future
strategies that address the social roots, rather than the behavioural
basis of poor reproductive and maternal health.

Dre Charlotte Reading est professeure adjointe
à l’école de santé publique et de politique sociale
de la faculté du développement humain et social
de l’université de Victoria. Dre Reading a mené
des recherches et publié dans les domaines de
la santé des Autochtones, du VIH/SIDA chez les
Autochtones, des déterminants sociaux de la santé
des Autochtones, de la compétence culturelle, du
cancer chez les Autochtones, de la morale et de la
croissance de la capacité de recherche autochtones,
ainsi que sur la santé sexuelle et la fécondité des
femmes autochtones.
Problèmes de fécondité et de santé maternelle des femmes
autochtones : considérations passées, présentes et futures
(Théâtre VCC)
Les expériences des femmes autochtones en matière de santé
(Premières Nations, Inuit et Métis) sont vécues dans les contextes
colonial, historique, politique, social et économique distincts de
la réalité autochtone. Plus précisément, la compréhension de la
fécondité et de la santé maternelle au sein de ces populations doit
se déployer au niveau des déterminants sociaux autochtones du
cadre de la santé. Durant cette présentation, Dre Reading explorera
ce cadre précis, ainsi que la façon dont certains déterminants
sociaux donnés produisent des problèmes de fécondité et de santé
maternelle disproportionnés pour les femmes autochtones. Elle
discutera aussi des trajectoires potentielles de la vulnérabilité et
de la résilience dans le contexte de la santé. Ce cadre représente
également un élément essentiel du développement des stratégies
futures qui adressent les causes sociales fondamentales plutôt
que la base comportementale des problèmes de fécondité et de
santé maternelle.

Building a Culture of Innovation:
From the Bedside to the Board Table
The 2010 Global Leader’s Study reports that the single most critical
focus of any organization is Innovation and Creativity. Clearly, doing
things the way we have always done them really just doesn’t work
any more. How many times have you hear that! And yet doing
things differently or developing new ways of doing things is tough.
This keynote will address some of the latest research on the brain
responds to new or different ideas, actions or deeply held beliefs.
We’ll explore the complexity of change and why it’s easier to stick
with the tried and true. But CAPWHN is a new organization and
we have the opportunity to create our own future. That’s why this
keynote will focus on ways to develop a culture of innovation and
change while benefiting from the experience of others.

La création d’une culture d’innovation :
du chevet des patients à la salle de conférence
L’étude 2010 des leaders mondiaux rapporte que les points
focaux les plus essentiels de toute organisation sont l’innovation
et la créativité. Clairement, nous ne pouvons désormais plus faire
les choses comme avant. Combien de fois avez-vous entendu ce
refrain? Cependant, faire les choses différemment et développer
de nouvelles façons de faire n’est pas un jeu d’enfant. Cette
discussion portera sur la recherche la plus récente sur les
réactions du cerveau face aux nouvelles idées ou actions, ou
encore aux croyances profondément ancrées. Nous explorerons
la complexité du changement et pourquoi il est plus facile
d’opter pour les façons de faire éprouvées. Mais la CAPWHN
est une nouvelle organisation et nous avons la chance de créer
notre avenir propre. Voilà pourquoi cette discussion mettra
l’accent sur les méthodes à notre disposition pour développer
une culture d’innovation et de changement, tout en profitant de
l’expérience des autres.

SS1
Women’s Health
Hosted by the British Columbia Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health
Women’s Health 101:
With the development of our new CAPWHN organization, this workshop is going to focus on the “W”! Hosted
by the British Columbia Centre of Excellence for Women’s Health, a panel of women’s health care providers,
health system planners and researchers will provide participants with an interactive afternoon that looks
at supporting and advancing the health of girls and women from national, provincial, regional and local
perspectives. Participants will have an opportunity to discuss the opportunities for improvements in health
care, including perinatal care, which arise when a sex and gender lens is applied in planning and practice.
The objectives for this session are:
1. Review the concepts of sex and gender and understand how they can be useful for program planning and
reconsideration of care;
2. Become familiar with sex and gender based analysis (SGBA) resources and tools that are available through
the national Centres of Excellence for Women’s Health and how they can support your practice;
3. Examine key health issues from both a traditional perspective and a sex and gender perspective, and
discuss the differences;
4. Explore how perinatal health can benefit from being considered within the larger context of girls and
women’s health;
5. Brainstorm creative actions for taking Women’s Health 101 home with you.
SS2
Spawning Change: Taking normal physiological birth through the life cycle of
policy development
Hosted by the CAPWHN Health Policy Committee
Participants will meet with representatives of different levels of government to share the briefing note derived

that occurred at the AWHONN Canada National Conference held in Montreal in October 2010. The collaborative document is the culmination of input from participating members of AWHONN Canada, SOGC, CAM
and CAPWHN. The purpose of this session is share this important document with policy makers for their
constructive criticism and next steps. The invited guests provide a guided tour through the cycle of policy
development from the perspective of the policy maker, facilitating a demonstration of how an idea spawned
navigates the system to legislated change and subsequent social impact.

Building a Connected Organization
Linda Tarrant, President TOC Consulting Inc.
If we were a soccer team, how successful would we be? The game is fast, the competition fierce and the
results are critical. If we are going to achieve our stretch goals, our CAPWHN team needs to be just as connected, informed, engaged and committed. And most of us know that if we really need to get something
done, our connections are more effective than any hierarchy. So, as we build our new organization, we will
need to build new relationships and new ways of connecting. This highly interactive learning session will offer
practical tools and techniques as well as energy and enthusiasm for engaging multiple perspectives, aligning
our resources and taking control of our future.
SS4
How to Avoid Becoming a Legal Case Study
Elaine Borg, Canadian Nurses Protective Society
The inspiration for this presentation was a scenario presented in a seminar at AWHONN’s AGM in 2009. The
use of social media by an NICU’s patient’s parents led to divisions amongst staff members and generated a lot
of discussion amongst the AGM attendees. The presentation will primarily be comprised of recent Canadian
legal decisions, with a thread of privacy and electronic communications throughout.
Elaine Borg, B.N.Sc., R.N., LL.B., is a Professional Liability Officer with the Canadian Nurses Protective Society. It is a position which requires dual licensure
as a nurse and as a lawyer. She received her undergraduate degree in nursing from Queen’s University at Kingston, Ontario. She worked in the infant
neurosurgery unit at The Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto prior to focusing on her main interest, obstetrics, which she practiced at Mount Sinai Hospital,
Toronto and The Ottawa Civic Hospital. Her interest in ethical decision-making led to a position on a hospital clinical ethics committee, and from there,
to a career in law after graduating from University of Ottawa’s law school. Elaine is a member of the College of Nurses of Ontario, the Registered Nurses
Association of Ontario, and the Law Society of Upper Canada. She was on the working group that drafted the National Disclosure Guidelines published by
the Canadian Patient Safety Institute.

Fetal Surveillance Challenges: Interpretation, Classification, Communication and
Documentation
Les défis de la surveillance foetale: Interprétation, classification, communication
et documentation - Fetal Surveillance Challenges: Interpretation, Classification,
Communication and Documentation
(presented in English with simultaneous interpretation into French – Marie Josée Trépanier
Fetal health surveillance is an essential skill of obstetrical nurses. Intermittent auscultation and electronic
fetal monitoring are the two primary surveillance methods used, but they provide the health care team with
data that is often complex, subjective, and not predictive of outcomes. Despite these limitations, appropriate
interpretation and classification of fetal heart rate characteristics are required to communicate with other care
providers and to document the findings clearly. This interactive workshop will allow participants to practice
their fetal surveillance skills through innovative interpretation, classification, communication and documentation
strategies. This workshop is aimed at proficient- and advanced-level nurses who have previously attended a
fetal health surveillance workshop.
La surveillance de la santé fœtale constitue une habileté essentielle que doit maîtriser le personnel infirmier œuvrant en obstétrique. L’auscultation intermittente et le monitoring électronique fœtal sont les deux méthodes
primaires de surveillance utilisées, mais celles-ci génèrent des données souvent complexes, subjectives et
peu prédictives des résultats. Malgré ces limites, l’interprétation et la classification correcte des caractéristiques de la fréquence cardiaque fœtale sont requises afin de clairement les documenter et les communiquer
aux autres membres de l’équipe de soins. Cet atelier interactif permettra aux participants de pratiquer leurs
habiletés en surveillance fœtale par le biais de stratégies novatrices d’interprétation, de classification, de communication et de documentation. Cet atelier vise les infirmières et infirmiers de niveau compétent et avancé,
qui ont déjà participé à une formation sur les principes fondamentaux de la surveillance fœtale.

Promising Approaches in Working With Women With Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD)
Dr. Deborah Rutman and Lynda Dechief
This skill building workshop will engage participants in interactive knowledge transfer of the findings from the
Substance Using Women with FASD and FASD Prevention Project, a three-year community-based research
project which involved a comprehensive literature review, interviews with service providers regarding their
perspectives on promising approaches in working with women with FASD, and voices of women with FASD
regarding what had worked for them in addressing their substance use problems.
Through engaging in this workshop, participants will learn to put promising approaches into practice in their
own service or program.
Learning Objectives
Participants will leave the workshop with:
• Greater insight into the experiences of women with FASD
• Enhanced understanding of what women with FASD find helpful when accessing care and services
• Increased knowledge regarding emerging/promising practices in providing health and social care services for women with FASD
• Improved capacity to make FASD-informed accommodations to their own communication and practice and in their own
programs/organizations.
Participation Engagement
Participants will actively engage with the workshop material through a variety of formats and media, including:
• small and large group discussion/interaction
• presentation and discussion of video clips profiling the experiences of women with FASD in accessing support and services
• an interactive ‘case scenario’ activity,
• an exercise on applying the workshop information in their own service or program
As well, handouts and resources materials will be provided so that participants are able to take key information away with them.
Lynda Dechief, MSc, Principal, Equality Research and Consulting; Advisory Committee Member, Substance Using Women with FASD and
FASD Prevention Project
Lynda helped to develop the Maxxine Wright Community Health Centre for pregnant and parenting women impacted by substance use and/or violence/
abuse and learned a great deal from the women about the intersections between these issues, including that to prevent fetal alcohol spectrum disorder
(FASD), violence against women must be addressed. She also learned over time that a number of the women accessing the centre were likely themselves
affected by FASD, and that they required a different kind of support in order to be healthy and safe. She recently sat on the Advisory Committee of the
Substance Using Women with FASD and FASD Prevention Project. She will be co-facilitating with the principal investigator on that project, Dr. Deborah
Rutman.
Deborah Rutman, PhD Adjunct Associate Professor, Faculty of Human and Social Development, & Senior Research Associate, School of Social Work,
University of Victoria; Principal Investigator, Substance Using Women with FASD and FASD Prevention Project: Since 1994, Deborah has undertaken
research exploring the strengths, challenges and experiences of (young) adults, women, and families living with FASD in order to identify supportive policies,
programs and practices. Recent projects focus on: appropriate substance use treatment and care for women with FASD; parenting with FASD; and the
legal system’s criminalization of disability.
