Patient partners are patients, family members and caregivers with lived or living experience that work with the research team during the research process. Rather than being subjects of research projects, take the next step forward and be a partner in research!

Details
Our research team holds virtual monthly research rounds where we discuss current, new and upcoming research projects with the team. It is a space to get feedback and input from members of the team! Patient partners will be invited to these meetings, based on if their health care experience aligns with the studies being, and will take part in the research team’s discussion. Drawing from their experiences, patient partners can help shape research project methods or questions.

I was thrilled to discover the Patient Voices Network, where the array of places to be the voice of a patient is vast and incredibly interesting. Besides my ongoing “gig” with the BC Emergency Medicine Network, I have enjoyed being involved in several one-off initiatives. I love working with professionals who genuinely value the perspectives of their patient partners.
