From Ideas to Impact: Learning from the Reshape T1D Study in Amplifying Patients and Clinicians as Partners in Research Co-Design and Integrated Knowledge Translation

The Reshape T1D study has transformed the role of clinicians and patients from active participants to proactive partners in the research process. The purpose of the study is to gain a thick description of type 1 diabetes lived experiences in Alberta and how those experiences can be mobilized into clinic practice to reshape diabetes care. The goal of this panel will be to describe the research experiences from the perspective of academics, clinicians, and patients. The intricacies of the research will be shared with full transparency to include conceptualization negotiation of the research itself, logistical aspects of incorporating patients and clinicians as researchers, personal experiences of fulfilling various roles, and learning takeaways from each panelist about considerations for undertaking this type of research.
