Prostate Cancer Screening Research Advisory Group

Posted

Closed

Open to Provincial Region, Patient partners across the province

Posted

We are looking for individuals who have experience with prostate cancer (PC) screening to be a part of our Research Advisory Group. The individual may have a prior diagnosis of PC or had a biopsy or been screened. The goal of our project is to determine the cost-effectiveness of new diagnostic tools to better determine risk of PC. We want to include the patient perspective to inform our map of the clinical journey of PC screening and diagnosis.

More Information:

The patient partner will attend an initial project meeting for orientation, participate in up to three meetings, and may be required to respond to email correspondence. Meetings will be held by phone or using an online virtual tool like Zoom. At meetings, the patient partner may be asked to: (1) listen to and review findings with us; (2) give feedback on our patient process map; and (3) discuss next steps.

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.
