Public Research Involvement Forum

Aim

We would like to increase the awareness and understanding of what patients, carers and members of the public can contribute to the development of medical devices, and to how they are tested to make sure they are safe and they work.

We would also like to make sure that medical device developers make technology that is inclusive, and will deliver the same positive outcomes for all patients; as well as technology that is sustainable. We can only achieve this by having a large group of patient and public contributors to support us.

Volunteer Criteria

Just an interest in learning more about how patients and the public contribute to clinical/medical research, and you can ask questions.

What will I be asked to do?

Listen and if you have any observations, questions or suggestions then you can contribute to the discussion.

When and where?

These will be delivered online on a monthly basis.  The link to join will be sent24 hours before the start of the event.

Will I get anything for taking part?

A huge thank you - your contributions will help others make up their minds on whether contributing in research is for them.
