Volunteer: Patient Partner, Patient Advisory Council (PAC) - St. Paul’s Hospital Anesthesia ResearchAre you interested in being involved in working with a research team to guide research projects? If so, St. Paul’s Hospital’s Department of Anesthesia is recruiting volunteers to be Patient Partners on our Patient Advisory Council (PAC)! What is the Department of Anesthesia? Our department is based at St. Paul’s Hospital where we conduct research on various aspects of anesthesia and pain management of our surgical patients. What is a Patient Partner? 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! What do Patient Partners do? The department’s 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. What is the time commitment for a Patient Partner? We understand that our patient partners can have very busy lives, so we have designed the Patient Advisory Council to be flexible, ensuring it does not become an added burden or strain. Our monthly research rounds run for ~2 hours a month, but patient partners are not expected to come to all meetings. We will invite select partners to meetings where the studies are relevant to their experiences. Additionally, we will also try to schedule the meetings based on our patient partner’s availability! With all that considered, we expect the time commitment for being a patient partner to be Partner: Anesthesia Research - St. Paul's Hospital Are you interested in being involved in working with a research team to guide research projects?
