The 2025 CanSAVE Strategic Symposium took place at UBC Robson Square in Vancouver on April 23 and 24. The symposium was made possible through a UBC Grant for Catalyzing Research Clusters, a CIHR Planning and Dissemination Grant, and sponsorships from ZOLL Medical and Stryker Canada.
The small, invitation-only event was an opportunity for CanSAVE research leads to again harness the expertise of participants to help answer critical questions that have arisen since our 2023 symposium, focus on the next steps, and build collaborative relationships to accelerate the research. Invited participants included all CanSAVE members ( BC, ON, AB) , representatives from BC Emergency Health Services, the Heart and Stroke resuscitation team, persons with lived experience (survivors and family members), international experts with expertise in each of the CanSAVE research programs, and defibrillator manufacturer representatives.
