Public involvement in research
Many of our researchers work closely with patient groups and individual members of the public in order to better understand their needs. This, in turn, leads to more relevant and reliable research which will ultimately be of benefit to the patient.
We are able to offer support and guidance to those wishing to involve the public in their research.
