Hybrid Models of Engagement

As we move to coming together in-person again, we need to consider the impact this has on engagement activities and the people involved. Many are considering (or have started) using hybrid models of engagement, that combine in-person and virtual strategies for meeting, discussing, and decision-making.

In this session, patient and public partners who work with the George & Fay Yee Centre for Healthcare Innovation and the Manitoba Primary and Integrated Healthcare Innovation Network will share their perspectives about how research and health services teams should approach the discussion of moving to hybrid models of engagement.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session learners should be able to:

• Describe what a hybrid model is;
• Discuss the pros and cons of hybrid engagement with patient and public partners; and
• Discuss important considerations for hybrid engagement with patient and public partners in their own work.

Speakers

This session features Thomas Beaudry, Paula Orecklin and Annabel Scott.

The 2021-2022 Patient Engagement Lunchtime Learning Series

Educational sessions, panel discussions, and case studies open to anyone interested in learning more about the principles and practice of meaningful, safe and inclusive patient and public engagement in health research.

In response to feedback from attendees, each session of this year's series is categorized into one of three levels. All are welcome to attend every session, though beginners will want to refer to preparation materials (videos and readings) to prepare for intermediate and advanced sessions.

Beginner: intended for those new to engagement and provide a basic understanding of patient and public engagement and its underlying principles.

Intermediate: intended for those with a basic understanding of the principles of engagement, with preparation materials provided to beginners who wish to attend.

Advanced: intended for those with hands-on experience in engagement who want to enhance their skills and knowledge of engagement, with preparation materials provided to beginners or those without hands-on experience who wish to attend.
