We want to speak to older adults who broke their hip following a fall, or their carers. We are particularly interested in speaking to those who live outside of London.
We are interested in hearing what happened after older adults went home from hospital. We want to hear about any care you had in another hospital, at a clinic, or at home, to help with recovery. This care might have included physiotherapy, occupational therapy, or other healthcare professionals.
We need patients to help develop a single-item scale to measure empathy in healthcare. This will involve taking part in one cognitive interview (where you are given a questionnaire and asked to talk through the mental process involved in answering each question). The interview can take place face-to-face at the University of Leicester or online via Microsoft Teams. It will last no longer than 30 minutes. With your permission, we will audio-record your interview. It will then be anonymised.

We are looking for women to take part in Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) sessions to help develop a new, non-hormonal, long-acting reversible contraceptive device for women.
Your insights will help us design a device that meets the needs of diverse women and ensures a patient-centered approach. We are looking for women with diverse perspectives, including sexually active women of childbearing age, women with long term health conditions such as cancer or cardiovascular diseases.
55,000 men in the UK are diagnosed with prostate cancer and 12,000 die from the disease each year. It is more common in Black men than White or Asian men. Diagnosing aggressive types of prostate cancer earlier could help people live longer, healthier lives. This project aims to improve the quality of care for hundreds of thousands of people tested for Prostate Specific Antigen (or PSA for short) in general practice. We will focus on improving how we pick up aggressive prostate cancer.
Nursing Associates are clinicians who work in the NHS as part of the wider nursing team. Our study will explore patients’ and the public’s perceptions and experiences of nursing associates (NA’s) in GP practices, to better understand service users’ views of how NA’s work in GP practices and how they can help improve patient access to GP services.
Our project aims to review and discuss various aspects of our study and its process.

There is a need for more and better research with people with MLTCs.
We want to identify the most important methodological research questions which need answering in order for researchers to conduct better clinical trials in this area.
We want to establish a PPI advisory group, aiming for 8 members including people with MLTCs and carers, to advise on different sections of our study to ensure our work remains relevant to those living with MLTCs. This research will not be about the treatments.
