HI @facetsjournal.bsky.social - I guess we will be watching - as patient partners in health care research in Canada. Theres a great Latin phrase that comes to mind: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?". #patientengagement #patientpartnership @patientlibrary.bsky.social @patientadvisors.bsky.social

Hi Lisa, yes it is! If someone with lived experience would like to apply, they should send their name, affiliation and a proposed talk summary (maximum 300 words) to [email protected]. Thank you! 🙌

“I am the lane”! Priceless and I might steal it!

Loved this podcast! Think all of us as patient partners in cancer research have had that "stay in your lane" comment". Your professional response: "I AM the lane" is pure gold! TY! #ppi #patientengagement

Does Canada's FACETs @facetsjournal.bsky.social and Royal Society @src-rsc.bsky.social take articles about patient-oriented research (POR) by patient partners? Or welcome patient partners in research to its Board of Reviewers or Society (perhaps as Specially Elected Fellows?). Just askin'....?

Patient Partner Alert! Join me to celebrate patient partnership and precision medicine! Virtual or in person (I'm on the afternoon panel). @genomebc.bsky.social @genomecanada.bsky.social @healthresearchbc.bsky.social @stirlingbryan.bsky.social @patientadvisors.bsky.social (and so many others!)

Great news! Is your Board + Society keen on patient engagement and patient-oriented research? Can we apply to uphold the peer review process? So hard to find reviewers...lets support and engage in science! @anetto.bsky.social @ctzenimprover.bsky.social @dawnrichards.bsky.social

Great news! Is your Reviewer Board interested in patient partnership / engagement and patient-oriented research? Can non-academics apply to help uphold the peer review process? Its so hard to find good reviewers these days!

Whats the etiquette if a good paper is rejected by an editor who then adds an unkind word? As a patient partner author I've got a thick skin, but this is a real test. Asking for a friend (of course). @dawnrichards.bsky.social @sandrashares.bsky.social @ctzenimprover.bsky.social (and others!)
