Patient Public Involvement – Training

Involvement by the public1 in the research process is firmly embedded in health sciences. The research roles undertaken are varied and may include being a co-applicant on a grant application, reviewing documents, grant writing, protocol development, writing trial summaries, patient information sheets, booklets and consent forms, sitting on a Trial Management Group or Trial Steering Committee, disseminating research results and talking to the media; these activities can sometimes seem daunting. Warwick Clinical Trials Unit provide some training to support the public in these roles and details of future workshops will be posted on this site when available.

This course is for patients or members of the public who are:People

  • working with a research team on a grant application
  • a co-applicant on a research grant
  • a member of a trial management group
  • a member of a trial steering group
  • thinking about getting involved in research.
