We've put together a one-stop shop for some easy-to-answer questions about Patient-Oriented Research, and additional resources for your Patient Engagement and Knowledge Translation plans:
Patient-Oriented Research (SPOR)
Refers to a continuum of research that engages patients as partners, focusses on patient-identified priorities and improves patient outcomes. This research, conducted by multidisciplinary teams in partnership with relevant stakeholders, aims to apply the knowledge generated to improve healthcare systems and practices.
Patient Engagement (SPOR)
Meaningful and active collaboration in governance, priority setting, conducting research and knowledge translation. Depending on the context, patient-oriented research may also engage people who bring the collective voice of specific, affected communities.
Definition of a patient (SPOR)
An overarching term that includes individuals with personal experience of a health issue and informal caregivers, including family and friends.

INVOLVE has developed a briefing note for researchers. The briefing notes explain the different ways that members of the public are involved in research. They will help you to plan, resource and support public involvement in your research. Note: In the United Kingdom they use the term public involvement, which we use for patient engagement in Canad:
