Do we need to engage differently with patients /partners based on local authorities? “our analysis suggests that the three standards on working together, governance and PPIE impact may require greater adaptation in LA settings” 🧪 researchinvolvement.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Explaining Canada Day To Americans

Years ago I was at New York Pride and I remember running into this couple and they told me they drove like five hours to be at Pride and I was like, “Five hours? Why would you drive five hours?” And he said to me, “This is the one time a year and the only place where I can hold my partner’s hand and kiss my partner in the street without having to look around first. It’s the only place. I don’t have that anywhere else.” One time a year. One place. This is it. And that’s what Pride means. - bob the drag queen

Possibly my favorite summation of Pride

Our message to US doctors, nurses and allied health workers is strong and clear – there has never been a better time to come to British Columbia, and for Canadian health professionals currently living and working in the U.S. – now is the time to come home.

Patient Partner Alert!

Join me in Ottawa next week! I'm giving a talk (+ moderating) at the 2025 flagship CAHSPR conference (aka Canadian Association Health Science and Policy Research).

What timing, the King will be in Ottawa with PM Mark Carney - maybe he'll come to CAHSPR? ❤️🤍❤️

We’ve pulled together practical ways to recognise and reward people fairly when they speak at events. If you’re planning events and want them to be inclusive and insightful, this is essential reading. buff.ly/02kV7Rg

TY @drmroz.bsky.social! So, "..out of 3000 health research papers published internationally in 2020, 79.4% of research papers DID NOT include reporting of PPI."

Has this number gone up since 2020?

Lets do more in Canada! ❤️🤍❤️ @healthresearchbc.bsky.social @patientadvisors.bsky.social

HI @facetsjournal.bsky.social - I guess we will be watching - as patient partners in health care research in Canada. Theres a great Latin phrase that comes to mind: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?".

Hi Lisa, yes it is!

If someone with lived experience would like to apply, they should send their name, affiliation and a proposed talk summary (maximum 300 words) to hbhl@mcgill.ca. Thank you! 🙌

“I am the lane”! Priceless and I might steal it!

Loved this podcast! Think all of us as patient partners in cancer research have had that "stay in your lane" comment". Your professional response: "I AM the lane" is pure gold! TY! #ppi #patientengagement

Hi Healthy Brains - @hbhlmcgill.bsky.social - fantastic opportunity! Is this TED talk open for patient partners with lived experience of brain health? Askin' for a friend, of course! ❤️🤍❤️
