About the Patient Engagement in Research Working Group

The Patient Engagement in OMERACT Working Group will focus on the significance of patient involvement within OMERACT. Patient engagement involves the active participation of patients, families, caregivers, and other stakeholders in the research process. This engagement is dynamic and hands-on, encompassing activities such as co-developing documents, participating in decision-making, and providing advice at any stage of the research process.

This working group is exploring the implementation of the Patient Engagement in Research (PEIR) Framework and the Patient Engagement in Research Scale (PEIRS-22) in OMERACT, building on the introduction of these tools at OMERACT 2023.
