Patient-orientated research is a participatory approach that promotes active patient engagement in health research. However, there are some communities that are generally underrepresented in patient-orientated research, such as indigenous communities. The ‘Indigenous patient partners platform project’ aimed to address the issue of the underrepresentation of Indigenous people by recruiting, orientating, engaging and supporting new Indigenous patient partners in health research in Québec, Canada.
In this webinar, which is part of the International PPI Network: Learning Live webinar series, the presenters explore the successes and learnings from this project and discuss the identified best strategies for engaging Indigenous patient partners in patient-oriented research.
The session is aimed at anyone interested in patient and public involvement and community engagement.
