Partnership in Health Research

Partnership in health research is part of a health democracy approach, involving patients, caregivers, and citizens as full partners.

It recognizes and integrates their experiential knowledge at every stage of the research process: identifying priorities, designing studies, collecting and interpreting data, and disseminating and translating results.

This approach promotes more relevant, inclusive, and impactful research by ensuring it meets the real-world needs of the people concerned, healthcare professionals, and society at large.

It also helps to build trust in research, improve the quality of health-related decisions, and promote more ethical, responsible research that respects individuals and their various roles within the healthcare journey.

A Citizen, Caregiver, and Patient Committee to Develop Health Research Partnerships

The RESHAPE laboratory has established the CAP Committee, led by two patient partners: Laurie PANSE and Flora MAZARICO.

The missions of the CAP Committee are to:

  • Develop research partnerships by involving patients, caregivers, and citizens
  • Raise awareness and support research teams in implementing participatory research approaches
  • Foster the integration of committee members as full partners in research projects conducted within the laboratory

Patients/Researchers Committee in September, 2025
