Centre of Excellence on Partnership with Patients and the Public (CEPPP)

The Centre of Excellence on Partnership with Patients and the Public (CEPPP) aims to make collaboration with patients and the public a science, culture, and new standard in order to improve the health and experience of all. A joint initiative of the Université de Montréal (UdeM), the UdeM Faculty of Medicine and the Centre de recherche du Centre hospitalier de l’Université de Montréal (CRCHUM). A world pioneer in the science of partnership, the CEPPP promotes interprofessional collaboration and the integration of the patient into their care team. The CEPPP also manages a patient engagement support platform – the PPP Platform – which offers a range of services for researchers and health care and service providers and assists them in developing their patient partnership capacities. A methodology derived from CEPPP research serves as a framework to inform and guide platform users through the process of working with patient partners.
