Partners in Progress: People in research Hannah Gray, Libby Hagston and Debra Howell
Event details
Who are the real experts when it comes to research? Scientists? Or patients, caregivers and the public?
Come along to an interactive workshop to discover how patient and public involvement is improving clinical and biomedical science research at the University of York by disrupting the status quo, with the aim of benefitting healthcare for all.
Presented by the York Biomedical Research Institute and Involvement@York, the workshop showcases successful models of collaboration and covers all stages of research - from topics to research, designing the study to collecting the data and then sharing the results with the wider world. Expect to have a go at stepping into the shoes of the experts by critiquing true-to-life case studies of healthcare research.
Learn how working with people and their experience helps to make sure the research is asking the right question and looking for the right answers to be able to make a real difference to our world.
