Researchers at the University of Birmingham are developing an app to support recovery after concussion.
We are seeking people who are EITHER:
– Serving military/veterans/others able to contribute a military perspective on concussion
OR
– Someone with experience of a shorter, uncomplicated recovery from concussion
Participation involves a single 90-minute online meeting. To take part, contact Andrew Stevens: a.stevens@bham.ac.uk. Please include a brief summary of your relevant experience.
I am designing an observational study exploring what information is discussed during Parkinson’s consultations and whether patients and carers feel their concerns were fully addressed. You will help develop the interview guide and participant information sheet, ensuring that participants feel safe and comfortable sharing their experiences and identifying topics they feel should have been discussed in more detail.
I’m currently looking to establish a small Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) group of 4–6 people affected by cancer to support my PhD research.
I’m particularly keen to hear from patients, carers, partners or family members with lived experience of cancer who would be interested in helping to shape the research, helping to ensure that the research is meaningful.
No previous research or PPI experience is required, I am simply looking for perspectives.
We are putting in a funding application to develop a physical activity intervention for new mums. We would like the views of the public on this, and are also looking to recruit a PPI lead if we get funding. We firstly would like views on our lay abstract and plan.
Researchers at the University of Birmingham are developing an app to support recovery after concussion in sport. We are seeking people with experience of grassroots or youth sport to help shape the app, including players, parents/carers and coaches. Experience of concussion is helpful but not essential. Participation involves a single 90-minute online meeting. To take part, contact Andrew Stevens: a.stevens@bham.ac.uk. Please include a brief summary of your relevant experience.
We are searching for myopic children, and their parents, to serve as patient experts who can help to shape health economics research into the burden of the disease.
The project aims to investigate the economic burdens of paediatric myopia. We want patient collaborators to help this work stay representative of their lived experiences.
We are looking for myopic children, under the age of 18, and their parents to volunteer for a 2 hour online session and share their experiences.
We are looking for people who live in the Northwest and would be happy to talk about their experiences of myeloma. We will ask you to talk to up to 2 separate groups of students for 50 minutes each time. There will be up to 12 students and 1 facilitator in each group.
This event will take place at the University of Manchester on Thursday 24th September 2026 10.30pm-1pm

Non-cognitive symptoms of dementia such as delusions, hallucinations, and agitation can be very distressing and impact well-being. Antipsychotic medication, including risperidone, can be used to help manage these symptoms where non-medication options haven’t helped. Previous studies have suggested some people need smaller doses to have the same concentration in their blood stream, but we don’t currently test for this. This project aims to explore personalising the prescribing of risperidone.
We are putting in a funding application to develop a physical activity intervention for people who are taking GLP-1 agonists (the obesity injections). We would like the views of the public on this, and are also looking to recruit a PPI lead if we get funding. We firstly would like views on our lay abstract and plan.
We are setting up a Public Adviser and Contributor Network of up to eight people who are currently employed or who have recently left work. This network will involve individuals with a negative/poor experience of work environments. They will meet online twice a year to monitor research progress and provide feedback and advice.
