What can you expect from the research team?
The Health Research Data Platform – Saskatchewan (HRDP-SK) is looking for people to join its Public Advisory Council (PAC).
If you care about how health data is used and want to help shape how it informs research and decision-making in Saskatchewan, this could be a great fit.
What will PAC members do?
As a member of the Public Advisory Council, you will bring your experiences, perspectives, and ideas to conversations about how health data is used. You will help HRDP-SK:
· Improve how to communicate about health data to the public
· Protect privacy and security
· Build public trust and engagement
· Ensure the perspectives of Saskatchewan communities are reflected in health data research
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for people from across Saskatchewan who can bring different experiences and perspectives to the table.
Helpful experience could include:
· Being part of a group or committee
· Contributing to your community and caring about its well-being
· Personal experience with Saskatchewan’s health system as a patient, family member, or caregiver
· Involvement in provincial initiatives or advisory groups
No previous council or committee experience is required. What matters most is your willingness to share your perspective and contribute to meaningful conversations about the use of health data in Saskatchewan.
To help ensure a strong and independent public voice on the Council, people whose primary work or studies focus on healthcare, health data, health policy, or related fields are not eligible to serve.
Interested in joining?
Applications are open until September 15, 2026.
