Marie-Pierre Codsi’s article “Changing relationships: how does patient involvement transform professional identity?” documents how partnering with patients transforms the identity of healthcare professionals.
Using ethnographic work based on 2 years of observation, she sheds light on the tensions generated by the transformation of relationships between patients and professionals, when the latter move from a bond of caregiver-patient to a role of colleagues.
The CEPPP is collaborating with the Canada Research Chair in Partnership with Patients and Communities on the Compassionate Communities project. Developed in the mid-2000s, the Compassionate Community approach to palliative care offers a community and health promotion perspective on end-of-life, capitalizing on the synergy between the strengths of the community and the health care system.
The CEPPP is collaborating with the Canada Research Chair in Partnership with Patients and Communities on the Caring Community research project. This social innovation focuses on the synergy between the community and the health care system, capitalizing on the capacity of patients and citizens to create social ties and care for one another.
Partnership is a collaborative and equal relationship between partners such as patients, members of the public, clinicians, researchers and policy makers. It is based on the mutual recognition of the complementarity of knowledge, whether scientific or experiential, i.e. derived from the experience of living with the disease.
The main objective of this project is to develop a national adaptable framework for the evaluation of patient and public engagement (PPE) in research.
