Patient and Public Involvement in Health Research
Working with patients and the public is the best way to develop our healthcare research. Patients and the public can help us share information, take part in clinical trials or join advisory panels. This work helps us all to test new treatments and medicines. It can allow us to generate new research ideas and helps us share the results of our research with the people who will benefit the most.
We can only achieve this by working with you, and with the support of our partners and funders.
Here is a list of online resources of ways in which you can support our research.
