Patient Partner, COVID-19 Clinical Trial Advisory Group

Posted • Last updated

Closed

Open to Patient partners across the province

Last updated

We are working on a clinical trial for COVID-19 therapies, and would like patient input into study materials, consent processes and how we approach patients with COVID-19 to take part in the study. Your experiences with COVID-19 as a patient yourself, or as a family member or carer of a COVID-19 patient will greatly help us design these materials to better inform our study design and implement research for patients with COVID-19.

The patient partner will join an advisory group that will attend meetings with the research team, and help design study materials – consent forms, researcher scripts – to better inform our research team about how we need to tailor our study materials for patients with COVID-19.

Health Categories:

  • Other COVID-19
  • Positively diagnosed COVID-19 patients

Eligibility:

  • Age: 18 Years – 50 Years Old

The bottom line is because we’re caring for patients. People who know best are those who are receiving the care so it makes logical sense that we would consult with them about their experiences. By connecting with PVN we have been able to educate our teams about the value of patient partners and how important their perspective is in our services.
