My name is Geoff Robson. Having retired after working in the rail industry for 40 years, I wanted to be involved in some form of voluntary work within the NHS.

Having been involved with my local Patient Participation Group, I became aware of the Clinical Research Network and was asked by the Head of PPIE, CRN West Midlands if I would be interested in becoming a Patient Research Ambassador.

Although I have effectively been in the role for a few months I can see the amount of work to be done and the challenges that lay ahead. However, I am already finding the role very interesting and rewarding and am looking forward to contributing towards the success of research with a focus on Primary Care.

To contact Geoff, initially please send a message via your local research facilitator,
