public partnership – Strength in Community

We are excited to share with you our new scholarly (peer reviewed) article just published in Journal of Psychosocial Oncology Research and Practice!

In this manuscript, we worked on understanding public engagement needs and opportunities when it comes to cancer in Newfoundland and Labrador. We also developed recommendations for both our group and external stakeholders.

For example, we collated information about which topics on cancer are relevant, or an interest to public members. We developed plans to diversify our collaborations and improve the public outreach activities in the province. We followed some of these plans as well.

This project was co-led by a public member, John King and a scientist, Sevtap Savas.

We invite you to take a look – it is free to read: https://journals.lww.com/jporp/fulltext/2024/10000/toward_a_public_outreach_and_community_engagement.5.aspx

We thank our Group members, public members who shared their thoughts with us, our funder (Office of Public Engagement) and supporters (NLSUPPORT) at Memorial University of Newfoundland.

On behalf of the Public Interest Group on Cancer Research, Sevtap Savas, St. John’s.

Happy to note that I presented the creation, work, and characteristics of the Public Interest Group on Cancer Research in the Canadian ARCC (Applied Research and Cancer Control) Conference held early last week!!

This was our first presentation of our highly successful group in an academic/scientific setting. I could not be prouder and excited to tell the conference attendees about our work, aims, and achievements while also addressing their questions (one attendee was very interested in learning more about the research study and public outreach activity that the group developed – scientists and public members together).

It is always a great feeling to be able to talk about our work, disseminate knowledge and experience, and see where we are and what else we can do by getting fresh perspectives.

Thanking the conference organizers for giving us this chance; MUN’s Office of Public Engagement for funding this initiative, and NLSUPPORT for supporting our activities!

I would like to thank each member of this group for their dedication, work, and motivation. You all are rock!

Until next time,

Sevtap Savas, PhD. May 27, 2022 St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador
