WHAT ARE FIRESIDE CHATS?
Fireside Chats are FREE pan-Canadian discussion forums for professionals in community health
Participants join in by both telephone and internet conferences.
The toll free telephone conference allows participants to hear the presentation and to join in the discussions.
An internet conference software allows participants see the PowerPoint Presentation from the Advisor on Tap's desktop. High speed internet access is required. Those with low speed or firewalls - use the back up presentation. (see below)
Fireside Chat participants have said:
"I love the fireside chats - always informative and least amount of hassle and time away from clinical duties which is the priority. We need the training and education piece to do the clinical so it’s a win win thanks so much "
"An excellent way to access learning opportunities and for networking. Especially when working in more remote areas. "
"Kudo's for the fab Fireside chats. I have found them very informative and enjoyable."
