Get involved in research
Opportunities to get involved in research
Your experience of your own care, or the care of others, is of great value to researchers. Researchers may have textbook knowledge about different conditions, but they have gaps in their understanding if they have not also lived through it.
Members of the public can work alongside researchers to help shape:
- what research gets done
- how it is carried out
- how the results are shared and applied in practice.
By getting involved in research, you can help make research more relevant and useful to patients, carers and the public.
