THINC-NICE Learning Series: Measuring Engagement of People with Lived Experience in Research
How do you know if your patient engagement efforts are truly effective? This session, co-led by Dr. Kerry Kuluski and Maureen Smith, will explore practical approaches to measuring and evaluating PWLE engagement in research settings.
Drawing from real-world experiences, we'll hear from three THINC Implementation Science Teams about how they're approaching evaluation of patient engagement. Teams will share their processes, tools, challenges, and lessons learned—including how evaluation can start at the beginning of a project by examining who's around the table and whether the right conditions are in place.
Whether you're just starting to think about evaluation or looking to refine existing approaches, this interactive session will provide space to share challenges, learn from peers, and explore what evaluation can look like in practice.

This workshop is part of the THINC-NICE Hub Learning Series, designed to create opportunities for shared learning and relationship building among members of the THINC-NICE community.
The Network for Integrated Care Excellence (NICE) is a knowledge mobilization and impact hub for CIHR’s Transforming Health with Integrated Care (THINC) initiative. We connect the 13 CIHR-funded Implementation Science Teams across Canada—bringing together researchers, decision makers, knowledge users, and people with lived experience to foster collaboration, build capacity, and amplify impact.
