Have your say in health research!

The main purpose of this role is to provide a public and patient perspective into the NDORMS research programme.

NDORMS has two Patient Partner Groups: The OPEN ARMS group and the Kennedy Patient Partner Group (KPPG). We will share opportunities to join these groups via the OPEN ARMS mail list, which you can sign up to here.

Our vision is to create a community of impassioned, informed and determined people to support and provide advice through involvement in the development and conduct of research at NDORMS. We aim to ensure that the best patient-focussed research is offered on behalf of the Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

What is involved?

  • Having a voice in deciding what we should research, making the research happen and communicating the findings to patients, carers and the general public.
  • Encouraging diversity and inclusivity.
  • Supporting new members.
  • Improving patient care and services.

Support

You do not need any specialist research or medical knowledge to volunteer. Additional information to explain about our research process will be provided.  Training in research methods and the role will be available if this would be helpful.

Renumeration

Patient partners will be offered renumeration for their time during participation in the group and reimbursement for any expenses incurred such as transport costs. This will be offered via a Payment Request Form and separate Expenses Claim form (reimbursement typically can take 4-6 weeks).
