Links & Resources

General Curation Tools

There are many tools that can be used to find information. Here I'll share some tools I've found that can be used to created digital content and find resources to assist in learning. Some are tools I have discovered and would like to explore further, and others are resources shared by classmates.

Healthcare Resources related to the province of New Brunswick

Here are some resources that I use as a healthcare professional in NB.

Some of these resources can be used for my own personal practice and accountability. Other webpages would be used to refer to for the work I do in my role as a public health professional. You can click on the titles to be taken right to their webpage:

​

Government of NB's Department of Health website-here is the link for my department's website. Here you can click on the page for Public Health and see some of the content I've helped review and create. 

​

WorkSafe NB-this website can be referenced by anyone, but I've used it in the past while creating guidelines that support individuals in their workplaces in N.B. Creating guidelines means learning to balance communicable disease best practice and the health and safety of all of the people who might be involved.

​

The Right to Information and Protection of Privacy Act (RTIPPA) is something I encounter in both my fulltime role and in my role as a Municipal Councilor. It's important to respect the information that is needed to do my work and what is too much. It's not often I deal with personal health information in my role with the Department of Health but policy and procedure is in place to guide the process should a member of the public request information.

​

The following websites and Acts are referenced in my work in supporting harm reduction and communicable disease work across the province. I reference many of these or at least understand that they exist. The Regional Health Authority websites provide information into what each area of the province is offering at a glance. Although I reference many of these websites, I also have contacts within the regions that I contact for up to date information relevant to my work.
