Opportunity Purpose
Members of the Pathways to Preeclampsia Patient Advisory Group will help us decide how to communicate the causes and pathways to preeclampsia. Project findings will inform patient education materials. The Patient Advisory Group will also participate in the creation of visually engaging educational materials to explain the risks of developing preeclampsia.

What’s Involved
The Patient Advisory Group will join 6 virtual meetings with patient partners, researchers and clinicians, providing advice, guidance, and feedback on the development and design of patient education materials. Our goal is to co-create a risk communication tool that will be useful for patients and their families. Involvement will be about 18 months (starting as early as Aug 2021 through Dec 2022), but could be up to 2 years. For those who are interested, complete this survey.

The question I like to ask health care employees is ‘Who is this for?’ and ‘Do we have the right people at the table?’ As a health care employee, I see how easy it is to fall into doing for, rather than doing with patients. The voices of the patient, family and caregiver are essential to ensure the patient is central to the direction and focus of the work being done.
