Getting involved
Current opportunities
We have several opportunities available to patients and members of the public to get involved in defining and guiding our research. If you are interested in getting involved in any aspect or our research please contact Paul Dijkstra
Why patients and the public want to get involved
|
They want to make a positive difference to the quality of care or to improve treatments, either for themselves or for others with a similar condition |
People want to ensure the voices of their communities are represented in research |
|
Some people have had difficult experiences and appreciate being able to do something positive with that experience |
Others have had very good experiences and see their involvement as an opportunity to ‘give something back’ |
|
People want to use their professional skills and experience to improve health research |
People want to learn more about their condition and the research that is going on |
|
They find the PPI work and research topics interesting |
PPI contributors can benefit from increased confidence, knowledge, and skills |
