This webinar is presented by the International Foundation for Integrated Care (IFIC) Canada
Across Canada, people with lived experience are leading transformative work in integrated care. From national networks to research partnerships, this leadership is creating the infrastructure needed for genuine co-design and shared decision-making. Healthcare systems increasingly recognize the importance of involving people with lived experience, and many are doing more of this work than ever before. What's emerging now is the shift from involvement to authentic partnership where power is genuinely shared.
Moving from consultation to authentic partnership requires systems to change how they operate, not just how they engage. It means confronting power dynamics, investing time in building trust and relationships, and creating conditions where people can participate fully as co-leaders, not just advisors.
This session brings together people with lived experience, researchers, and system leaders to explore what authentic partnership looks like in practice, what it takes to sustain it, and how to build on the transformative leadership already happening across the country. Join us to learn and unlearn together, connecting with others working toward integrated care that's genuinely shaped by the people it serves.
