We are dedicated to improving the health of Saskatchewan people, through patient-oriented research.
SCPOR is the Saskatchewan Centre for Patient-Oriented Research. We work with academic, health and government organizations throughout the province and across Canada to ensure health research is focused on the things that matter to patients, and can be used and implemented to improve experiences and outcomes, in essence, making the province healthier.
All member of a research team - researchers, clinicians, policy and decision makers and Patient Partners - are essential for successful and impactful results. Working together through patient-oriented research only enhances what we can accomplish.
