Dr Margot Latimer's program of research has developed in the areas of pediatric pain and nurses' work life. As a nurse and researcher she has practiced in a children's health centre environment and collaborated on research relevant to the care of ill children and their families. Dr Latimer's research has focused on understanding how we support health care professionals in their work to provide optimum care. Within this mandate she has pursued research questions exploring the translation and effective uptake of knowledge, collaborative interdisciplinary practices and better care for children in pain. Dr Latimer has used both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to explore these interesting questions. She has received research training in the CIHR Pain in Child Health Strategic Training program and the Canadian Child Health Clinician Scientist programs. Dr Latimer's post doctoral research will extend our understanding of clinician's empathy for children's pain using advanced technology such as functional magnetic imaging. Our Centre is exploring new and innovative ways to support clinicians to use their expert knowledge to help reduce kid's pain. |
