KEYNOTE ADDRESS - Sponsored by Honeywell Team Broken Earth Location: Bannerman 1-4, St. John's Convention Centre |
Team Broken Earth is a volunteer-driven relief effort made up of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals from across Canada. The first team started here in Newfoundland in response to the dire need for medical assistance in the wake of the 2010 earthquake that leveled Port-au- Prince, Haiti, killing over a quarter of a million people and injuring countless more. Seven years removed from that devastating earthquake, the team has grown to be a nation-wide effort, and has expanded to include relief work and assistance in Nepal, Bangladesh, Nicaragua and Guatemala. Team Broken Earth’s mission is threefold. First, we believe in providing a sustained medical relief effort to those who need it most. We’re there until we are no longer needed. Second, we believe that education creates sustainable, ever-lasting change. Finally, as our organization matures we look to continue our ongoing research activities measuring outcomes and deliverables that result from our efforts. Speakers: |

TRACK 7A Building Innovation: Manufactured Construction for Resilient Results - Sponsored by Indigo Group Location: Bannerman 1 & 3, St. John's Convention Centre |
Session Overview: Technology is driving industry-wide change in how we approach healthcare construction, including project communication; design and renderings; costing and scheduling; and space planning beyond immediate needs. What does this mean for healthcare construction and how does a change in the traditional spending model ultimately affect the patient experience? DIRTT Healthcare Director Kristin Moore takes a practical and informative look at manufactured interior construction and its impact on healthcare. Session Objectives: • Understand where a construction budget goes and what gets value-engineered out when budgets run tight. • Describe what a shift in behavior means for the industry and how it affects construction processes by turning budget dollars into a higher level of design and overall environment quality for patients and staff • Identify specific impact areas on sequencing; process changes result in reduced construction schedules, measurable cost savings in CSI divisions and on-site installation versus on-site construction for a safer, faster and cost-efficient build. • Assess how this construction method directly supports patient-centered design in healthcare environments • State how technology supports a collaborative design experience for all key stakeholders Speaker: |

Companion Program Sponsored by |
Time: 10:00-16:00 | Coastal Communities Tour (6 Hours) |
This tour will go "around the Bay" along the picturesque coastline of Conception Bay, the home of pirates of centuries ago. You will stop in Holyrood to search for ‘Lucky Rocks’ on the beach. The tour will also stop for picture taking as we make our way to Brigus, one of the historic sailing ports of Conception Bay and home of the late, famous Captain Bob Bartlett who took Perry to the North Pole. Here you will have the opportunity to visit Hawthorne Cottage and take ‘The Walk’ around the community. Participants will have Lunch in Cupids, one of the oldest settled communities in Newfoundland. This area celebrated its 400th anniversary in 2010 of John Guy establishing a colony in this area for the Merchant Venture's in Bristol, England. After lunch you will take a walk through the museum in Cupids and visit the archaeology site where the old colony is being rediscovered. Your guide will regale you with the history culture and language of the Newfoundland people. |

Time: 09:30-15:00 | Historic St. John’s and Cape Spear with a “Taste of Newfoundland” (5.5 hours) |
A tour of old St. John's with plenty of time to see such National historic sites as Cabot Tower, Signal Hill, the Anglican Cathedral of St. John the Baptist and the Basilica. Hear the legends of Dead Man's Pond, and Government House and the history surrounding the Colonial Building. This tour will orient you and give you a feel for the history, legend and lore of St. John's, the oldest community in North America. Then you will head off to visit the National Park at Cape Spear, the most easterly point of land in North America. Here the lighthouse has been restored to circa 1836. Explore the bunkers built by Canadian soldiers in the side of the cliffs during the Second World War. Now you can say you have been to the other "Far East" where you can stand with your back to the Atlantic and face every other being in North America - or turn your back on them. The choice is yours. Throughout the tour we will be visiting various sites around the city to sample some of Newfoundland’s fine fares: a beer tasting at the Quidi Vidi Brewery (with a serious focus on fun); and the Newman Wine Vault for a drop of their legendary port and a taste of the Newfoundland Chocolate Company’s delicious creations. Lunch will be provided at one of St. John’s’ many exceptional restaurants. |

Facility Tour
Sunday September 16, 2018 Time: 13:00-16:00 |
2018 Facility Tour Nuclear and Molecular Medicine Facility |
Eastern Health would like to invite you for a tour of the new Nuclear and Molecular Medicine facility, which houses Newfoundland and Labrador’s first positron emission tomography /computerized tomography (PET/CT) scanner. A significant investment into Eastern Health’s Nuclear and Molecular Medicine Program and designed to LEED Silver certification. This facility is equipped with geothermal heat recovery system, redundant HVAC and electrical systems and multiple radiation safety systems |
|
The new PET/CT scanner is leading-edge medical equipment that offers improved assessment, diagnosis and treatment of certain types of cancer, cardiac disease and some neurological disorders. The scanner combines two diagnostic tests into one, offering a unique representation of what is happening in the human body. While the CT part of the examination provides structural information about human anatomy, the PET scanner provides functional information about how the patient’s organ systems work. | |
The total cost for constructing of the new Nuclear and Molecular Medicine facility and acquiring the new PET/CT scanner, cyclotron, furniture and equipment amounted to approximately $50 million. In conjunction with the PET/CT scanner, Eastern Health is also operating a cyclotron, a device used to create medical isotopes. Medical isotopes are used in PET/CT imaging, as well as some other diagnostic imaging procedures currently available through Eastern Health’s Nuclear and Molecular Medicine Program. |
|
As a cyclotron creates radiation, the regulatory processes for operating a cyclotron are extensive. There are two principal federal regulatory agencies involved – Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission (CSNC) and Health Canada. Several safety features have been built into the space that now houses the cyclotron, such as extra thick concrete and lead walls, safety monitoring systems and security features. Any waste or excess materials produced by the cyclotron is properly stored and monitored according to federal safety regulations, and properly and safely disposed at federally regulated and approved disposal depots. | |
