SCPOR is dedicated to improving the health of Saskatchewan people, through patient-oriented research

Welcome to the Saskatchewan Centre for Patient-Oriented Research!

- also known as SCPOR (pronounced skipper)

In patient-oriented research, Patient Partners work alongside researchers, clinicians, and community organizations to ensure that health initiatives are meaningful, inclusive, and responsive to the needs of those they serve. Their insights help shape research priorities, program design, and service delivery in ways that reflect the real-world experiences of patients, families and caregivers.

SCPOR is a partnership of patients, academic institutions, government agencies and health organizations. Together with our partners, we focus on incorporating learnings from health research to achieve system improvement and support SCPOR’s desired outcomes of enhanced patient and provider care experiences, improved population health, increased value of health services and reduced health inequities.
