Meet the researcher
We also want additional patient partners to be involved in monthly “Meet the Researcher” discussions to hear about our research, help develop research proposals, and support reviewing of research findings. If you are interested please see details below.
WHAT IS INVOLVED
We will be running monthly events, initially online via Zoom, for health researchers to share their ideas, studies and results with patients and the wider public. We would love for you to join us. As well as hearing about our work, we would appreciate your input to these research studies. We might ask you to give your ideas on:
- Research design and patient commitment required
- Identifying ways in which the study could be improved
- Encouraging diversity and inclusivity of access to research activities
- Helping researchers communicate the findings in a way everybody can understand
Talks are the fourth Monday of the month at 1pm. There are no talks scheduled in August and December.
Next Event Monday 27 June, 1-2pm
We will have two talks from researchers. Cushla Cooper is going to be talking about “Creating clinical space for clinical research”. In the second talk, Philip Drennan and James Fullerton will discuss “Embracing the challenge: accelerating new treatments through healthy volunteer studies”.
Booking is essential: This workshop will be online and in person. In either case, please register for this event - online participants will receive a link for viewing after registering. Please book your place here.
