Charities Research Involvement Group

Meeting Held 6 September, 2023

Our main topic for discussion was how we can reach out to people from different socio-economic groups, different geographical areas, and people who may find online involvement difficult/impossible. Thanks to Natasha Ratcliffe (freelance consultant) and Elspeth Mathie from the University of Hertfordshire for sharing their experience.

We also had a great presentation from colleagues at Health Research Charities Ireland and University College Dublin about PPI in lab-based research.

Plus as usual some fab discussion and info sharing.
