This session will present findings from a community driven effort to co-design a paediatric sickle cell disease satellite clinic at Trillium Health Partners. Through engagement with children, caregivers, clinicians, and community partners, this work centres lived and living experience to better understand gaps in care and identify priorities for more equitable and responsive services.
This workshop offers a practical introduction to integrating community engagement into the research process. Participants will explore how to identify relevant community interest holders, consider where their perspectives can strengthen or shape research, and learn how to involve them in meaningful and appropriate ways. Through guided activities and discussions, you will begin to develop a realistic plan for incorporating community engagement and knowledge translation into your work.
