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.

SUMMARY:Aging Out: Transition of care for children with rare neurodevelopmental disorders
DESCRIPTION:Approximately one in 12 Canadians are affected by a rare disorder and two thirds of them are children\, according to the Canadian Organization for Rare Disorders (CORD). Due to the low number of individual cases\, qualified specialists are hard to find. After years of assembling a trusted pediatric care team\, parents are often faced with the challenge of finding a new adult care team once their child turns 18. The challenge is even more complex for rare neurodevelopmental disorders requiring multi-disciplinary care. \nWhat strategies would ease the pediatric to adult care transition? This webcast will bring health care providers\, medical experts and patient advocates together to share ideas and solutions to bridge the gap between pediatric to adult care for those living with neurodevelopmental disorders.
