We are recruiting people with lived experience on hemodialysis to be patient partners for our study. We recognize that the perspectives that patient partners bring through their experiences with kidney disease and dialysis are integral to the success of our work. As a patient partner, you will be asked to provide feedback and input on study materials (e.g., newsletters, infographics) and to attend virtual study meetings. 

Estimated time commitment: 1-2 hours every 4-6 months. You will be compensated for your time. This position is virtual and runs until March 2026. 

If you are interested in becoming a patient partner, or you want to learn more, please contact Madeline Theodorlis by email: madeline.theodorlis@uhn.ca. Phone number available upon request. 

Indigenous peoples are more likely than non-Indigenous people to be affected by chronic conditions, including kidney disease.

We want to learn from Indigenous peoples with chronic kidney disease in Canada about their experiences with managing their medications, including:

• taking and managing medications

• coping with changes to medications 

• what would make medication use easier (for example: educational materials or specific supports from healthcare providers). 

This may reveal ways to improve medication management for Indigenous peoples with kidney disease.
