We are thrilled to share with you our new film to raise awareness of health and care research, which you can watch on NIHRTV YouTube now.
It explains the vital part research plays in improving treatments and care happening at hospitals, GP practices, and in wider care around the region. It also highlights the incomparable role our participants have in helping to make research happen.
We have developed 'The Power of Participant Stories', a new staff guide to helping your participants share their stories about taking part in NIHR research.
Our guide provides answers to some of the related questions you might have about the processes involved. It also includes a link to our Participant Information Flyer which you can print out to give to any participants you feel might be interested in sharing their story to help raise awareness of research.
