Patient & public engagement
Our aim is to engage relevant public groups and patients in the research process to improve its quality and impact. This is a mutually beneficial process, where both the researcher and the public group contribute to shaping the research.
Our strategic aims & objectives
1
Enabling public and patients to inform our research and learning to ensure impact.
2
Engaging public and patients about the HRC’s research to empower them to feel more confident to access, use and respond to health research.
3
Working with children and young people in London, to enthuse and inspire young people about science.
4
Connecting with local communities in Lambeth and Southwark to broaden the impact of the HRC on their lives and build relationships to enable the community to influence research practice.
Patients and the public bring invaluable insights that shape research to be more relevant, compassionate, and impactful, ensuring that science serves the true needs of those it aims to benefit.
