SUMMARY:A Conversation About Patient Partner Outsider Syndrome
DESCRIPTION:Patient/caregiver partnership in health research has evolved substantially since the launch of Canada’s Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) over a decade ago. However\, findings from the Patient Advisors Network (PAN) “Reimagining the Research Landscape” report\, commissioned by CIHR in 2024 for the SPOR Refresh\, revealed that patient/caregiver partners often feel like outsiders in the research ecosystem. This webinar will take a deeper dive into the OSSU Research Day presentation “Why do patient/caregiver partners feel like outsiders?” \nMs. Maureen Smith will moderate a frank discussion between two of the report authors\, Mses. Alies Maybee and Annette McKinnon\, and PAN Board member Ms. Sandra Holdsworth\, and leading patient-oriented researchers Drs. Manoj Lalu\, Ambreen Sayani and Stuart Nicholls\, on the barriers uncovered by the report and showcasing best practices to mitigate these barriers.
