Description:<\/b> Who Should Attend?:<\/b> Kirk Nyquist, RN, BSN, MA<\/strong><\/p>\n Kirk has been a long-time advocate of Cannabis. With almost 40 years of nursing, he has deepened his knowledge, interviewing the minds of cannabis scientists, prescribers, users and growers, building his own understanding on how Cannabis applies to nursing practice. He explores plant medicine in a measured and professional manner.<\/p>\n Now nursing across generations, practicing in remote Manitoba communities and as co-host of Reefer Medness \u2013 The Podcast, Kirk is exploring how Canadian nurses will gain future professional understanding of cannabis through the Canadian Nursing Association\u2019s \u201cNational Nursing Framework and e-Learning Modules for the Legalization of Cannabis\u201d project; in which is sits as an advisor.<\/p>\n An early adaptor of distributive learning technology, this webinar marks a return to the online teaching environment for Kirk and he is excited about it. His approach to web-based instruction is to entertain while applying adult learning experiences.<\/p>\n Trevor Shewfelt, BSc, BSc Pharm, CRE<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cWhat do you mean we can\u2019t sell medicinal cannabis in pharmacies?\u201d Trevor Shewfelt has been a pharmacist since 1997, but since 2017 this question has bloomed into a new passion project.<\/p>\n During his practice, Trevor has become an Asthma Educator, a COPD Educator and a Respiratory Educator. He is certified to give injections, treat self-limiting conditions and deliver smoking cessation programs. He supervised the medications in five Long Term Care (LTC) Homes for about 20 years, including training new LTC nurses on the pharmacology of mental health and dementia in the elderly. Trevor helped design and implement Pharmacist\u2019s Manitoba\u2019s Smoking Cessation Project from 2012-14 and has had various articles published in pharmacy trade magazines. He continues to write weekly newspaper and radio columns about solutions to common health complaints.<\/p>\n Trevor\u2019s interests in health, teaching, writing and radio have culminated in Reefer Medness – The Podcast. With friend and colleague, nurse Kirk Nyquist, Trevor has interviewed pharmacists, nurse practitioners, naturopathic doctors, internists, pharmacologists and various scientists about cannabis. He has talked to patients who use cannabis to make their lives better, attorneys who deal in cannabis law and physicians who treat everything from anxiety, or pain, to sleep or PTSD with cannabis. Each time, Trevor learns something new about cannabis, and how to apply it to his practice. Trevor is excited to share his knowledge and experiences with elder care and how cannabis can assist with healthy aging.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Duration:<\/b> Presenters:<\/strong> Includes: See below for the outline, speaker biographies, and more.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":50969,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[81,84,16,40],"product_tag":[44,45],"class_list":{"0":"post-2948","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-cannabis","7":"product_cat-geriatric","8":"product_cat-on-demand","9":"product_cat-webinars","10":"product_tag-kirk-nyqusit","11":"product_tag-trevor-shewfelt","13":"first","14":"instock","15":"virtual","16":"taxable","17":"purchasable","18":"product-type-simple"},"bundled_by":[],"bundle_stock_status":"instock","bundle_stock_quantity":null,"bundle_virtual":false,"bundle_layout":"","bundle_add_to_cart_form_location":"","bundle_editable_in_cart":false,"bundle_sold_individually_context":"","bundle_item_grouping":"","bundle_min_size":"","bundle_max_size":"","bundle_price":[],"bundled_items":[],"bundle_sell_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthlinksed.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product\/2948","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthlinksed.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthlinksed.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthlinksed.ca\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/50969"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthlinksed.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2948"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthlinksed.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_brand&post=2948"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthlinksed.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_cat&post=2948"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthlinksed.ca\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fproduct_tag&post=2948"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

Can cannabis assist with healthy aging?\u00a0 Canadian seniors are the fastest growing users of\u00a0cannabis. \u00a0Whether it is CBD, THC or any of the other cannabinoids that come from this ancient plant, health\u00a0practitioners need to better understand cannabis and its derivatives in order to counsel clients in its use. <\/span><\/p>\n
