A guide to Patient and Stakeholder Involvement in Research

As a part of SHARE – Centre for Resilience in Healthcare’s overarching vision of reforming the understanding of quality and safety of current healthcare systems , patient and stakeholder involvement (PSI) in SHARE’s research activities is a key strategic priority. The aim of SHARE’s PSI strategy is to encourage and facilitate a broad spectrum of patient and stakeholder involvement across all of SHARE’s research activities, to increase the relevance and impact of our research.

About SHARE 

SHARE is a research centre based at the University in Stavanger (UiS). The centre was established in 2017 and has currently two national partners; the Patient safety research group at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology Gjøvik  and Prehospital - and Acute Division at Oslo University hospital. SHARE constitutes Norway’s largest research group studying quality and safety in healthcare. The centre board consists of seven permanent members and five alternates. All partners are represented. 

Multidisciplinary centre 

SHARE is a multidisciplinary research centre. About 70 researchers are affiliated with the centre, including nurses, medical doctors, psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapist, lawyers, sociologist, engineers, and safety scientists. The centre’s main pillar is the solid base of PhD scholars conducting research in areas such as interdisciplinary teamwork and competence, co-production and involvement, telecare, regulation, evaluation of improvement measures, and analysis of healthcare processes. Network for Carer Research is also organized by the centre. 

Centre lead and contacts 

The centre director is Professor Siri Wiig. Lene Schibevaag and Inger Johanne Bergerød are centre coordinators and Cecilie Haraldseid-Driftland is responsible for communication and dissemination. 

Activities in SHARE 

SHARE organizes and provides a variety of arenas for research dissemination, information sharing, and social gatherings. The invitations are sent by e-mail so make sure that you are on the email list (contact Lene). Examples of activities are listed below: 

• Monthly research meetings. This is an arena were there will be a variety of different presentations that contributes to a fruitful discussion, and this is also an arena for PHD candidates to present their work and get feedback (Contact: Lene).  
• PHD and Postdoctor lunch. This is an informal arena where we learn and share tips and tricks. Lunch is free if you sign up for the calendar invite (Contact: Inger) 
• Writing seminars are provided annually. The seminars provide an opportunity to focus on structured writing, but also to meet up with colleagues that normally work form other locations in Norway.  
• Christmas meeting is a SHARE tradition marking the beginning of the holidays. This is a fun event, and we also share a nice meal together.  

In addition, there is during the year a range of popular science contributions offered through medias such as podcasts, lectures, stand-up comedy and social media contributions. The aim is to make research results related to quality and safety in healthcare easily accessible both nationally and internationally. The SHARE researchers recognize the importance of becoming active contributors in the public debate in popular scientific channels and strive to contribute at different arenas.  Invitations to these activities will come via the e-mail list, and everyone is welcome to join.
