Patti Derbyshire (MA, MEd.), also a PhD student based at SIAT, presented this poster at the Canadian Pain Society Conference 2025.
Patti had the opportunity to join one of the final sessions, which brought together trainees and people with lived/living experience (PWLE) over a meal. Both groups had been expressing a desire to connect informally: trainees wanted to better understand the lived experience of pain and how their research makes an impact, while PWLE wanted to support the next generation of researchers in engaging in meaningful, patient-oriented research.
