Panel summary |
Horizon scans are published once a month and include:
- briefing note about emerging issues
- panel summary about priority issues for Canada.
The briefing note is the same one prepared as part of our global horizon-scanning initiative, and the panel summary captures the insights from a Canadian panel that meets immediately after the global panel meets. The panel summary identifies the COVID-19-related issues that Canadian decision-makers (and the Canadian evidence-synthesis groups that support them) should consider paying attention to.
The Canadian panelists comprise a mix of strategic and ‘out-of-the-box’ thinkers and doers who collectively bring diverse perspectives to our horizon-scanning work, including:
- a mix of citizens, service providers, policymakers and researchers
- experience with one or more of public-health measures, clinical management and pandemic-related conditions like mental-health issues, health-system arrangements, and economic and social responses (e.g., education and food security)
- being based in different parts of Canada
- having English, French or another language be their mother tongue while being able to read and either speak or write (even at a basic level) in English.
