Patient-oriented research (POR) is an approach that involves partners with lived and living experience (PWLEs) at each step of a research study or project. To do POR successfully, it’s important to communicate in a way that is understandable and accessible to all research partners, no matter their perspectives, experiences, expertise, or background. Patient-oriented researchers also are interested in putting research into action by sharing research findings outside of ‘traditional’ academic publications and venues.
To do any of these things, you need to be able to write accessibly. If you’re looking to improve your ability to communicate with a range of audiences and increase your impact as a public scholar, please join us for What’s the Story?, a three-part introduction to POR communications!
Part 1: How to make your writing more accessible is a workshop on how to write about health care research for a range of audiences, including partners with lived and living experience of a disability.
