SUMMARY:Living with Rare Neuroimmune Conditions: Patient Views & Perspectives
DESCRIPTION:Please join Sumaira Ahmed\, NMOSD patient and founder of The Sumaira Foundation\, for a panel discussion featuring five patients living with rare neuroimmune conditions. Patient perspectives and lived experiences are essential to guiding R&D efforts and generating real-world evidence for therapeutic advances. This is especially true for rare diseases such as NMOSD\, MOGAD\, autoimmune encephalitis and stiff person syndrome. Yet far too often\, the voices of patients are overlooked\, marginalized or excluded. This is an opportunity to hear directly from a diverse group of patients living with these disorders who are also actively advocating for their communities. Sponsored by The Sumaira Foundation.

SUMMARY:June National Pain Round: The Science of Pain - Learning from Human Cells
DESCRIPTION:Human cell research is pivotal in the pain space as it offers unparalleled insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms by bridging the gap between traditional preclinical animal models of pain and those that suffer from pain in society. Fundamental research findings using these new human tissue approaches can lead towards the development of targeted therapies. Engaging people with lived experience in this research is crucial as it ensures that the research is focused on what people actually need\, leading to better health and a happier life for those dealing with pain. We will discuss some promising human cell research in development in our labs\, highlighting how people with lived experience have been involved in these studies.

SUMMARY:Is this okay? Community attitudes on using health data in research in Canada and Australia: A cross-cultural exchange
DESCRIPTION:The access and use of health data for research raises concerns related to privacy\, commercial motives\, equity and fairness for members of the public who want to know who is using data generated from their personal information and why. But despite concerns\, there are clear benefits to using health data in research\, including better patient care\, better health system planning\, and better understanding of disease and wellness. \nIn this two-hour\, interactive workshop co-hosted by HDRN Canada. and PHRN Australia\, Julia Burt and Dr. Annette Braunack-Mayer will discuss how public engagement and dialogue can help us understand community attitudes about the use of health data in research. They will explore why members of the public support the use of health data in research and under what conditions\, as well as reservations or concerns that arise. Julia and Annette will compare engagement methods from their respective research projects on community attitudes related to the use of health data in research\, and share findings from Canada and Australia. \n

SUMMARY:Perinatal and Child Health Research Annual Meetings
DESCRIPTION:The realm of perinatal child health research is undergoing a rapid transformation. To enhance the well-being of our children and families\, it is imperative to foster collaborative research endeavors\, facilitate data sharing\, provide training\, and encourage networking among researchers and institutions. Consequently\, nine networks have united their annual meetings to facilitate connections and eliminate obstacles to top-tier health research and training. Our objective is to unite the Canadian perinatal and child health research community in a singular location—a historic first—where innovative ideas can flourish and a collaborative environment can be established.

SUMMARY:PxP Webinar 2 2024: Motivations for being a patient partner in research
DESCRIPTION:The webinar series is all about patient engagement in health research\, also known as patient and public involvement (in the UK) or consumer involvement (in Australia). ‘Patient engagement’ in health research is where patients are research team members. This is different from volunteering to be a research participant where you might help advance research or healthcare\, but a research participant generally does not give input into the research study itself.
