Ohlson Research Initiative

🚨New research from the Ohlson Research Initiative🚨 We investigated the impact of early mobilization after head & neck cancer surgery with free flap reconstruction on postoperative complications & hospital length of stay (1/2) @Rosie_Twomey @scnak1 @kharasauro @jcdort

Exercise prehabilitation for #HeadandNeckCancer care: What are the barriers and facilitators to delivering this evidence-based intervention? Exciting prelim work on a program of work from @OhlsonResearch mdpi.com/1787478 #mdpicurroncol via @CurrentOncology

@kharasauro @GreggNelsonERAS @jcdort @OlleLjungqvist @StevenBischMD @smithstg @Rosie_Twomey

Excited our team members will lead a @CIHR_IRSC funded study to explore int’l trends in @ErasSociety guideline uptake and barriers to better evidence-based care. Optimizing surgical care is more critical now than ever so more patients reap the benefits of evidence-based care.

We are looking to talk with patients who have or have had #HeadandNeckCancer to hear about your experience with your care. Are there opportunities to improve #CancerCare ? Call...email...DM...

#postdoctoral opportunity with @ohlson_research to improve care of patients with head & neck cancer. Check it out👇 careers.ucalgary.ca/jobs/9816035-p…

@UCalgaryMed is now accepting applications for a #postdoctoral Associate in Head and Neck Health Services Research with @ohlson_research. careers.ucalgary.ca/jobs/9816035-p…

#UCalgary named a top five research university for the first time, the youngest university to reach @R_Infosource's top five ow.ly/B6vA50HCLg7

Thank you to @citynewscalgary @StefanieLasuik for letting me share some of our prelim findings of our study looking at the impact of delaying #surgery during #COVID19AB We are still looking for a few more participants for interviews... call, email, DM.

If you are one of the many patients, or loved ones of patients, who have had their surgeries postponed, contact us (DM, email, phone). We want to hear from you. #COVID19AB #surgery

Congrats to our postdoc @Rosie_Twomey who made CBC news this week: cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…

Study led by Dr. @Rosie_Twomey highlights chronic fatigue in Long COVID patients.

Using data from 445 patients in the Calgary Head & Neck Enhanced Recovery Program, we provide evidence for the #HNC @ErasSociety recommendations that patients should be mobilized within 24 h where possible (2/2) Read more here #openaccess mdpi.com/2072-6694/13/1…

📣 New pub alert from @ohlson_research 👇 mdpi.com/1141448 Early Mobilization = ⬇️ complication ⬇️length of hospital stay after Head and Neck Surgery w/ Free Flap Reconstruction ❗️Mobilizing patients early (within 24hours) should be a priority❗️ @Rosie_Twomey @jcdort

I just had one of the most rewarding experiences - the first (inaugural) @ohlson_research Patient Advisory Council meeting! I know these partners are going to question our assumptions and make our research so much more meaningful for patients. We are still welcoming members.⬇️

📣HUGE shout-out to @ohlson_research PDF @Rosie_Twomey A @CIHR_IRSC postdoctoral fellowship, 2 papers accepted by a respectable journal, and 🇨🇦 permanent residency within a week. 🎉
