By involving patients, carers and members of the public, we get to know what matters to you by listening to your ideas, knowledge, views and experiences.

Working with us, we will:

  • Actively consult, listen to and involve people, including patients and carers at all stages of our research including feeding back any findings
  • Inform and educate others about our health research
  • Involve people, including patients and carers in the decision-making processes within our research governance structure
  • Work flexibly, inclusively and respectfully to accommodate the needs, interests, concerns and aspirations of all
  • Work together in a way that values and respects all contributions, and builds meaningful relationships
  • Make a change and make a difference through public involvement by learning from each other and building on what works well
