This document provides an overview of a presentation on creating safe and inclusive spaces for sexual and gender minority (LGBTQ) people. The presentation objectives are to describe the lived experiences of transgender individuals, apply LGBTQ terminology, identify myths and misunderstandings about transgender people, and develop skills for respectful communication and supportive environments. It discusses challenges faced by LGBTQ individuals such as discrimination, family rejection, and barriers to healthcare. It also provides guidance on inclusive practices through use of language, policies, and physical space design.
As museums adapt to an increasingly diverse society, they need methods for taking action against both individual and systemic biases. Rather than expect those who are targeted to effect change in isolation, the Ally Skills Workshop provides techniques for staff, management, and board members to join in shaping a more equitable and inclusive museum culture.
Here are some stone-cold facts that define the LGBT community. The community is composed of people who feel that their gender and sexuality are different from that of mainstream society. It is most important to realize that all people are extremely complex, and respecting diversity is of the utmost importance. The LGBT community has no clear boundaries and is being redefined every day. Terms are changing and definition are constantly evolving. The “secret” to working with this “uniquely perfect” population is to engage in preparatory empathy in order to avoid missing the whole person and their needs.
Guelph Sexuality Conference: LGBTQ Family Planning 101 for Service ProvidersAndy Inkster
This workshop is intended to provide an opportunity for service providers to develop and deepen their knowledge of the legal, social, and practical aspects of LGBTQ family planning, and become aware of information and resources available to prospective parents. Multiple pathways to parenthood for LGBTQ prospective parents including adoption, sperm, egg, and embryo donation, co-parenting, and surrogacy will be examined. The goal of the workshop is to help service providers gain knowledge to use to assist LGBTQ clients in visioning, accessing information and resources in anticipation that our clients are now considering parenthood or may consider parenthood in the future.

A Little Bit of Everything, Quick & Snappy: Probiotics to Advances in the Car...PASaskatchewan
As pharmacists, you are rarely faced with a consistent patient population with similar problems and questions. More likely, each patient you interact with has unique and varied concerns that you must be ready to address in an instant. This session reflects the diversity of patients a pharmacist will face in day-to-day practice and covers a range of topics in a quick and snappy format. This session will cover the evidence as it relates to concurrent probiotic and antibiotic use, second line treatment for patients with type 2 diabetes, and explore new utilization strategies of using drugs traditionally used in the treatment of type 2 diabetes for patients with type 1 diabetes.
Pharmacists will soon be able to offer comprehensive travel consultations including prescribing travel-related vaccines. This session will serve as an introduction to the topic by taking you through the most common questions faced in community pharmacy.
Preventing Opioid Overdose Deaths with Take-home Naloxone/ NIHB PolicyPASaskatchewan
An overview of Take Home Naloxone including who should be counselled, some counselling tips and most importantly how to recognize and respond to an opioid overdose using Naloxone. We will finish off the discussion with Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) coverage and where to go when you have questions or difficulties in obtaining drug coverage for your patients.
This session will help pharmacists enhance their expertise in managing patients with hypertension through updates on the latest hypertension guidelines, discussion on the role that pharmacists can and should play in the detection and ongoing management of hypertension and hands-on experience with blood pressure measurement devices.
Saskatchewan Transfer Discharge Medication Reconciliation Form OverviewPASaskatchewan
A discussion of the provincial transfer/discharge medication reconciliation form from acute care facilities. We will discuss the form in the current state and the purpose of the form when presented to community pharmacies across the province. This discussion will help gain an understanding of the patients “story” of medications utilized prior to admission to hospital, what medications were utilized in hospital and what medications the patient is to continue after discharge. The session will help community pharmacists understand what medications are to be dispensed from the form. The understanding of the use of the form will allow community pharmacies to provide a continuity of care of the patient in the transition from an acute care facility to their community home.
A review of pharmacist-led transition of care systems, specifically post-discharge follow-up phone calls, and the opportunity for pharmacy students to lead a new service. A review of the “Post-Discharge Follow-up Phone Call SPEP Standard Work” project will be provided, including an overview of the methodology, results, and discussion.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

This is what people are telling our system and what keeps coming out in the research.
If individual experience suggests there are service gaps to meeting these mandates, we have room for growth.
Keep in mind that providing good service to people who are, let’s say, gay, doesn’t mean that we stop giving good service to someone who is straight. No one gets better service…
We want to make sure that everyone who walks into this building can feel like they are seen for who they are, that they can be part of accessing health care safely and receive good customer care.
