Community representative | Health Services and Policy Research, in the area of primary care | Vulnerability to stroke significantly increases with age, making older adults particularly susceptible to both the event itself and its associated morbidities. Stroke, especially in its severe form, is a life-limiting condition. While rehabilitation is a cornerstone of post-stroke care, it often leaves gaps in addressing the holistic needs of patients—gaps that palliative care techniques are well-positioned to fill. Recent discourse has highlighted the relevance of palliative rehabilitation and rehabilitative palliative care in addressing the comprehensive needs of individuals affected by stroke. In the context of older adults, integrating palliative care into rehabilitation is crucial to minimizing the limitations often associated with conventional physical rehabilitation alone. This is particularly urgent in low-resource settings, where physiotherapy tends to be the primary, and sometimes sole, rehabilitation modality. However, physiotherapists in these environments often lack specialized training in geriatrics and palliative care. An intradisciplinary approach—such as a palliative rehabilitation model integrated within physiotherapy services for stroke care—offers promise for improving both care quality and patient outcomes. The model emphasizes collaborative, patient-centered care that blends rehabilitative goals with palliative care principles, making it especially relevant for older stroke survivors. With this context, I conceptualized the study: "A Feasibility Study on the Co-adaptation of a Model Integrating Palliative Care and Rehabilitation in the Care of Older Stroke Survivors, Especially in a Low-Resourced Setting." This proposed research aligns well with the themes of Health Services and Policy Research, particularly within the domain of primary care. The study embodies key elements of primary care—namely rehabilitative and palliative services—and addresses crucial healthcare service and policy concerns. It aims to advance care approaches for older adults, especially those affected by stroke, by informing evidence-based, context-specific interventions that bridge service delivery gaps in low-resource settings. | I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Medical Rehabilitation with specialization in Physiotherapy, and further specialized in Geriatric Physiotherapy with a dedicated interest in Palliative Care. I also possess a Master’s degree in Gerontology and am currently pursuing a PhD in Geriatric Physiotherapy. My academic and clinical pursuits are deeply rooted in improving the quality of life and care for older adults, particularly those facing life-limiting conditions such as stroke due to its prevalence in my home country, Nigeria. Professionally, I have nine years of clinical experience and five years of teaching experience. I serve as a lecturer in Geriatric Physiotherapy, Research Methodology, and Palliative Care in Terminal Diseases, and actively supervise undergraduate research projects and dissertations. In a tertiary teaching hospital, I currently lead the Geriatric, Community-Based, and Palliative Care Physiotherapy Unit, where I integrate clinical practice with research and training of future professionals. I have received formal training in Knowledge Translation, Systematic and Scoping Reviews, Implementation Science, Qualitative and Quantitative Research Methods, and data analysis using tools such as SPSS and NVivo. My research interest is especially focused on qualitative inquiry, which I find invaluable for understanding complex, lived experiences in health care. Through this project, I will contribute both my academic expertise and practical experience in geriatric and palliative physiotherapy. My combined skills in clinical care, teaching, research design, and data analysis uniquely position me to play a critical role in population, public health and primary care studies. |
| Pedram Dara Founder and Director of Psychedelic Lived Experiences contact@psychedeliclivedexperiences.com Psychedelic Lived Experiences Ontario |
Person with lived and/or living experience | Canada’s Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR) | Our interest lies in participatory, qualitative research that centres the lived experiences of mental health patients seeking access to psychedelic-assisted care through clinical trials and under Health Canada’s Special Access Program (SAP). This project would co-design and conduct in-depth interviews with applicants and recent recipients to generate policy-relevant insights on access, outcomes, and system readiness. Insights aim to support patient-oriented protocol design, service pathway optimization, and improved equity in emerging psychedelic treatment models. | We bring a uniquely positioned lived-experience leadership model, grounded in firsthand insight as a clinical trial participant and advocate, alongside a trusted network of patients, caregivers, and clinicians engaged in alternative treatment pathways through our platform and the first-ever Psychedelic Lived Experience Summit. This is coupled with substantial practical expertise in qualitative interviewing, participatory research design, and knowledge mobilization, demonstrated through extensive patient-driven convenings and content development. In-kind, we are able to contribute recruitment, community engagement, interview facilitation, advisory convening, and dissemination through our established channels, with additional support in proposal development, research ethics framing, qualitative data analysis, and reporting from an experienced research collaborator. |
| Kejela Tari Project Coordinator 0916904798 kajela.tari98@gmail.com Addis Ababa, Ethiopia |
Researcher: early career, mid-career, senior, trainee | Impacts of school food programming | My primary area of interest is the impact of school feeding programs on the health, nutritional status, and educational outcomes of school-aged children, particularly in food-insecure and drought-affected communities. Through my previous experience in nutrition-focused projects, I have witnessed how school feeding not only addresses short-term hunger but also improves school attendance, concentration, and retention, while acting as a powerful incentive for parents to send children—especially girls—to school. I am particularly interested in how integrated school feeding programs, when combined with nutrition education, WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) services, and local food procurement, can promote sustainable development, support local economies, and reduce child malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. In the context of Ethiopia, where food insecurity and undernutrition remain high, I believe school feeding programs have the potential to be a key platform for multisectoral collaboration—linking education, agriculture, and health sectors. I am eager to contribute to evaluating, improving, and scaling such programs to enhance their impact and sustainability. | I am highly motivated to engage in initiatives that improve the health, education, and overall well-being of vulnerable children through school feeding programs. With a background in nutrition and project coordination, I bring valuable skills in community mobilization, nutrition screening, program planning, monitoring and evaluation, and multi-sectoral collaboration. I am especially skilled at linking school-based programs with existing health and nutrition services at the PHCU level, ensuring holistic and sustainable impact. In addition to technical skills, I am open to contributing in-kind support, such as volunteer time for community sensitization, training facilitation, and program monitoring. I am also willing to mobilize local resources and networks to support school feeding initiatives. My passion for child development and nutrition, combined with my experience working in resource-limited settings, positions me well to meaningfully contribute to school feeding efforts and their long-term success. |
