Knowing how to respond to a threat is a tremendous
challenge. After a violent incident, it is not uncommon to find
that many different people were aware of clues that an attack
was being planned. Yet, without the proper mechanism to gather
information and assess the situation, prevention is nearly
impossible. This
workshop provides a communication and decision-making model to
help schools, businesses, organizations and communities become
proactive in their management of threats. Strategies to help
you identify, assess and manage individuals who make threats
will be explored. Considerations
related to mental illness will also be highlighted. Participants
will leave the workshop with an understanding of how to
implement a threat assessment team for their specific
environment.
Some of
the topics covered
·
Types of Threats and Behaviours of Concern
·
Possible Characteristics of an Assailant
·
Threat Assessment Team and Plan Development
·
Guiding Principles in Investigation and Assessment
·
Considerations Related to Mental Illness

Dear TMTA members,
If your company manufactures
products for sale to Ontario’s hospitals, you already know how
challenging it is to get access to these hospitals’ purchasing
departments.
For this same reason, you also
appreciate the importance of keeping abreast of every change in the
Ontario government’s purchasing rules, regulations and protocols.
Both are good reasons for
attending TMTA’s upcoming quarterly meeting. In addition to being
the last quartely meeting of the year and giving you a chance to
discuss the highs and lows of 2009 with your peers, this upcoming
meeting will feature a special presentation from the Ontario
ministry of finance’s supply chain department.
That presentation will focus on
the government’s latest look at medical purchasing by Ontario’s
hospitals. It will explain the Ministry’s reasoning for
rationalizing purchases and announce the start of a formal
consultative process by which the government will be seeking input
from industry.
TMTA has been invited to
participate in this consultative process and we will be sending to
delegates from the Association’s Market Access Committee. But this
upcoming meeting on December 7 will be your company’s opportunity to
input directly into the process.
This is your chance to have your
say. What do you like
about Ontario’s purchasing policy? What do you dislike about it?
More importantly: what would you change and how would you go about
making those changes?
Join us on December 7 for this
opportunity to be heard and join your voice to that of your industry
peers.

License application training
Event Title:
License application training
Event Date:
September 10-11, 2009
Cost:
A credit card is required to register.
Audience:
MEDEC members and non-members
This
special training seminar organized by MEDEC in co-operation with
Health Canada addresses issues relating to the application quality
and resulting delays in the licensing process.
A timely/fast and successful application process is
the beginning of many product success stories in Canada and in any
other jurisdiction. Unfortunately, the record presented to Industry
by Health Canada tells a different story. Too many applications are
of insufficient quality (New Applications Class II = 23%, Class III
= 84%,
Class IV = 92%; Amendment Applications Class III =
68%, Class IV = 57%) require additional information asked for by
Screening Deficiency Letters or Additional Information Requests.
These additional efforts do not only require capacity
in the Industry but also at Health Canada and ultimately delay the
entire regulatory process with the effect that applications with
deficiencies take on average up to 100% longer than targeted and
contribute to capacity shortage that even delays clean applications
significantly.
This
program is designed to bring participants from Industry and their
relevant counterparts at Health Canada together to address the
requirements for a Canadian license and the most common deficiencies
(Part I and II). It introduces in Part III participants to the
requirements for the use of the STED document (a future format of
preference at MDB), and informs in Part IV of the basics in Adverse
Event Reporting under the Canadian Medical Devices Regulations.
All presenters are from Health Canada and talk about
their daily experiences.
This event is open for MEDEC members and non-members. The space is
limited. Registrations is now open online at
www.medec.org/events_and_programs.
A credit card is required to register. Please note that your member
do not qualify for member rate.
