Researchers at Loughborough University are seeking employees with a long-term health condition or disability to help shape and review Co-Manage, a digital workplace self-management toolkit. We are inviting people to take part in monthly 1-hour online MS Teams discussions with a small group (8–10 people) over the course of the 20-month project. Participation is voluntary, and contributors will be reimbursed for their time.

Researchers at Loughborough University are seeking people who have experienced a physical injury and completed in-patient rehabilitation (e.g., hospital or specialist rehab with physiotherapy or occupational therapy). We’re exploring how drama therapy could support rehabilitation. Take part in a friendly 1-hour online MS Teams discussion with 5–8 others. No preparation needed.

Have you called 999 five or more times in a month because of symptoms that keep coming back, like pain or breathlessness? We are developing a research project to help people in this situation and want to hear from you.
We are looking for one or two people of any age or background to have a short online or phone chat with a researcher and review a brief description of the research.
You will receive a £30 voucher as a thank you. Spaces are very limited as this research is seeking funding.

We are looking for patients and public contributors to help shape a research fellowship on oral wound monitoring. The study aims to improve current monitoring tools for better monitoring and prediction of post-surgery wound healing in combination with current standards of wound monitoring.

Contributors will help review study documents, improve patient-facing materials, comment on acceptability and relevance, and advise on dissemination.

We are looking for patient and public contributors to help shape a research project focused on improving clinical trial designs for neurodegenerative diseases. We want to ensure that the research addresses questions and outcomes that matter to patients and carers. Members will contribute to: shaping research questions, providing feedback on how trials are explained and to inform future dissemination and communication activities.

This project listens to menopausal women from minoritised ethnic communities who’ve faced urinary incontinence during a hospital stay. We want to share their real stories with nurses, what helped, what didn’t, and how cared‑for they felt. Their voices shine a light on experiences that are too often overlooked, helping us understand what needs to change so hospital nursing care feels kinder, more respectful and truly inclusive.

We are carrying out a study exploring how well NHS pathology doctors feel prepared for increasing use of digital technologies in diagnosis. We would value public and patient perspectives on the wider importance of this research, including evaluation of impact on future patient care. This is a light touch involvement opportunity via email only, with no meetings required. A plain English summary of the project is available.

This project’s aim is to further understand harm associated with the use of surveillance technology in inpatient mental health wards (for ex Oxevision, Care Protect, bodyworn camera, CCTV in seclusion/136 suites). It was designed with co-researchers with lived experience and seeks interview participants with experience of surveillance technology, preferably in the past 5 years, but who left the ward at least 3 months ago. Interview will run online, using time mapping as a method.

According to ESPAUR, antibiotics prescribed privately in the primary care setting are increasing annually. However, there is a very limited understanding of how antibiotics are accessed through private primary care services. This DPhil project aims to understand the scale, routes, and drivers of private antibiotic access for acute infections in England, and to identify opportunities to strengthen antimicrobial stewardship in private primary care settings.

• Talk about their experiences to a small group of students (1-2).

• Listen to students explaining their research and tell them if you don’t understand what they are telling you.

This event will take place on Teams on Monday 6th July 2026 2 pm – 4 pm
