Using consensus to build clinical practice and clinical research capacity

  • 01 Apr 2022
  • 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
  • Webinar
Want to learn how you can use a consensus building process to support and strengthen clinical practice and clinical research capacity? Join us for our KT Connects session with Dr. Jackie Whittaker as she shares her experience leading an international consensus. 
 

What will be discussed:

Consensus statements can provide guidance when there is no evidence, and organize subjective judgment based on a wide range of knowledge and experience while stimulating constructive debate. This presentation will briefly discuss consensus methodology and then provide an example of how the approach has been used to build clinical practice and clinical research capacity and identify priority knowledge gaps in relation to reducing the burden of post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis.
 

After this webinar, the audience will be able to:

  • define what a consensus exercise is and its purpose
  • outline key steps in a consensus exercise
  • compare and contrast four types of consensus methods
  • describe the OPTIKNEE consensus.

Speaker:

Dr. Jackie Whittaker is an associate professor in the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of British Columbia, and research scientist at Arthritis Research Canada in Vancouver, Canada. Her research takes a lifespan approach to preventing osteoarthritis, with a particular emphasis on knee osteoarthritis. Central to her research is an integrated knowledge translation approach, involving patients, health professionals and other stakeholders throughout the research-to-practice continuum. 

Identifying key evidence gaps for preventing osteoarthritis, Dr. Whittaker initiated and leads an international consensus to develop clinical and research recommendations to guide rehabilitation aimed at reducing the burden of post-traumatic knee osteoarthritis called OPTIKNEE. Building off of seven rigorously conducted systematic reviews, the consensus group has formed evidence-based recommendations aimed at promoting knee health after injury, which will be presented in an upcoming consensus paper that will shape the field.
