Description

The Shift Worker Patient and Family Advisory Council (SHIFT PFAC) is an active patient engagement program aimed at improving the lives of night shift workers through their involvement and influence in our studies. We are proud to work with night shift workers as they are a group often overlooked in healthcare initiatives. We aim to work with the SHIFT PFAC to improve not only the physical health, but also the job satisfaction and overall well-being of night shift workers. The purpose of the SHIFT PFAC meetings is to foster an open dialogue where study participants can share their valuable insights, experiences, and feedback. By doing so, we aim to continuously improve the SHIFT app and other support mechanisms, with the ultimate goal of optimizing sleep quality and circadian rhythm management for night shift workers.
