Lived Experience of Spatial Neglect Post-Stroke? Let’s work together!

Health Areas
Stroke, Other Diagnosis and Therapy, Health Services and Policy, Other Men’s Health, Neurological Rehabilitation, Stroke Rehabilitation, Other Older Adults, Other Women’s Health

Opportunity Purpose
This opportunity is for people with lived and living experience of spatial neglect to join our team in developing two grant proposals. We are a team of researchers and clinicians from Canada, Scotland, Ireland, and Australia specializing in physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and neuropsychology, wanting to bring together a range of perspectives to map out an initial study exploring patient perspectives on spatial neglect post-stroke.

Details
This initial patient partner opportunity will focus on developing two grant proposals. The grants will fund future research planning. We will plan how to bring people with lived and living experience of spatial neglect post-stroke together with researchers and clinicians to map out innovative research directions aligned to patient priorities and clinical needs. You will have the option of identifying how/where you would like to contribute in this grant writing stage (e.g., brainstorming, writing, editing) and how you’d like to be listed on the application (e.g., Research User Co-Lead or Team Member). If the proposals get funded, longer term engagement opportunities will emerge!

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.
