  • A square peg in a round hole

  • Mobilizing the Power of Lived/Living Experiences to Improve Health Outcomes for all

    Open AccessAmbreen Sayani, Linda Monteith et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2025

    INTRODUCTION: Health Equity Assessments (HEAs) are decision-support frameworks or tools used to evaluate the equity impacts of policies, programmes and initiatives. However, HEAs are often conducted without meaningful engagement from the individuals and communities most affected by health inequities. This lack of social participation limits the relevance and effectiveness of HEAs, leaving systemic inequities unaddressed and opportunities for impa…

  • Addressing stigma, mistrust, and power within integrated care work

    Open AccessChi‐Ling Joanna Sinn, Amy Innes et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2025

    Background: Integrated care is about removing barriers to effective, coordinated, and person-centred care. Often, the language used to describe barriers revolves around fragmentation, for example, siloed care delivery or communication gaps.

These barriers include stigma, …

However, challenges in operationalising aspects of the model limit our understanding and evaluation …

  • The public and patient involvement imperative in Ireland

    Open AccessMeghan Gilfoyle, Anne Macfarlane et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    What can we learn from the history of Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) in healthcare and research across global jurisdictions? Depending on region and context, the terminology and heritage of involvement in research vary. In this paper, we draw on global traditions to explore dominant themes and key considerations and critiques pertaining to PPI in order to inform a PPI culture shift in Ireland. We then describe the heritage of PPI in Ireland…

  • Exploring the Multidimensionality of Trust in Participatory Health Partnerships - A Network Approach

    Open AccessMeghan Gilfoyle, Jon Salsberg et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Public Health2022

    Introduction: Previous studies have identified "trust" as a key mechanism to achieve sustainable partnerships in participatory health research, which themselves can represent social networks. A recent review discussed the potential for social network analysis to investigate the development and maintenance of trust and its effects on partnership functioning in participatory health research partnerships. This review also recommended considering a c…
