We help build relationships between researchers and people with lived experiences to ensure health research matters to patients.
When health research is done in partnership with people with lived experience, it leads to innovative health care solutions and ultimately better patient outcomes. The overall quality and impact of health research improves when patients and community are part of the team.
Make health research more meaningful by engaging people with lived experience. When you work with the Maritime SPOR SUPPORT Unit (MSSU), our experts can help you develop a patient engagement plan, prepare funding applications, provide guidance around study design and much more.
Learn how patients and the public contribute to health research by sharing their lived experience of a health issue or as a caregiver, family, or friend. Discover opportunities to engage with research teams.
