What is TREKK?
The Translating Emergency Knowledge for Kids (TREKK) Network connects emergency specialists, child health researchers, patients, and families to improve how the latest knowledge in children’s emergency care is put into practice in general emergency departments across Canada. Working with experts in the fields of pediatrics and child health, we work to expand our Evidence Repository based on the needs of general emergency departments. TREKK has 31 world-renowned researchers and 26 content advisers across North America developing resources for healthcare professionals, as well as patients and families.
At TREKK, we're focused on knowledge translation – specifically, transforming knowledge into tools that can be used in practice. For more information about knowledge translation, check out the links below:
