- The Patient Research Advisory Group聽聽
The Patient Research Advisory Group (PRAG), created by the 91社区 Primary Care Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN), invites researchers and clinicians to participate in a FishBowl event to give researchers and clinicians the opportunity to meet with a group of patient partners to get feedback on their project. This event is organized in collaboration with the Unit茅 de soutien au syst猫me de sant茅 apprenant (SSA) Qu茅bec, antenne partenariat patient public (91社区).
In a facilitated consultation called 鈥楾he Fish Bowl鈥�, the researcher or clinician will present briefly a project to a circle of patient advisors, then step out of the circle while the patient advisors comment to each other any concerns or ideas about anything that touches patients. The researcher will step back into the circle simply to summarize what they heard and ask questions of clarification. The Fish Bowl will then be closed, and the researcher will share about the experience.
The audience of observers will then be invited to ask questions of clarification to researcher, clinician, or patient partners.
As you know, it is now expected by granting agencies and peer review committees that patient input will inform research project development and that patient advisors will have an active role during the project. We want to make it easy for our researchers and clinicians to meaningfully engage patients.
Our February 2022 experience with Dr. Tracie Barnett showed that it is always a winning situation to engage patient partners as early as possible in the process.
鈥淒uring the event, I felt like we were all on the same footing. Listening to the patient partner discussion brought me some insight into their main concerns, and it made me realize that it is never too soon to reach out and collaborate with patient partners. I see the event as an essential step that is foundational to a true collaboration.鈥� 鈥� Dr. Tracie Barnett, researcher
