We know that clinical trials could not happen without the involvement of patients and the public, and everyone has a right to take part in research.
However, not everyone knows research is happening in the NHS and social care, or how to get involved. The NIHR and our own East of England RRDN team have developed a number of campaigns to help get the conversations started, and everyone is welcome to use them!
Be Part of Research
Be Part of Research
Be Part of Research is the NIHR's flagship campaign to raise awareness of public and patient involvement in research.
The www.bepartofresearch.uk website makes it easier then ever before for members of the public in find out about relevant research that is local to them.
Join Dementia Research
Join Dementia Research
Join Dementia Research is a website and telephone service which allows people to register their interest in finding out more information, and allows those who register to potentially be matched to a suitable study.
If you are a researcher who is looking for people to take part in a dementia study, you can use the site to link up with patients and members of the public who might be interested in taking part.
Rebo's Research Adventure
Rebo's Research Adventure
Rebo's Research Adventure is a free video game app about taking part in research which is available to download on IOS and Android tablets. It is a great way to start a conversation about the importance of research with young people and adults alike.
Why not download it to your tablet and take it to events to help break the ice? Alternatively, tell your paediatrics teams about Rebo, so that they can pass the information on to patients and their families.
