100 Cups of Tea: What On the Land Teaches Us About Indigenous Cultural Safety 

100 Cups of Tea: What On the Land Teaches Us About Indigenous Cultural Safety 

TRANSFORM HF is once again offering On the Land, a cultural safety training program developed and delivered by Indigenous scholar Dr. Angela Mashford-Pringle in collaboration with Indigenous Elders and Knowledge Keepers. The three-day immersive experience invites trainees, researchers, and clinicians into a transformative experience rooted in Indigenous ways of knowing and being. For many past participants, their time spent on the land has profoundly impacted their research and practice. We spoke with three past participants to learn more about the experience.

Research-Ready: Empowering Our Patient Partner Community

Research-Ready: Empowering Our Patient Partner Community

At TRANSFORM HF, we require the help of people with lived experience (PWLE) to plan the best research projects, test new technologies, and explore how heart failure care can and should be improved. However, it isn’t always a straightforward process for researchers looking to involve patient partners in their research projects or for PWLE who would like to be engaged. We reflect on how our Foundations course is helping to bridge the gap.

Grand Challenges Call for Collaborative Solutions

Grand Challenges Call for Collaborative Solutions

TRANSFORM HF was launched in 2020 in response to the grand challenge of inequity in heart failure care. With our 5th anniversary on the horizon, we sat down with Dr. Craig Simmons, TRANSFORM HF Co-Lead, to discuss the power of collaboration, how the engineering landscape has evolved, and what he hopes to see in the future of heart failure care.
