Help shape research on non-invasive wound monitoring and personalised care in dentistry

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.

Patient and Public Contributors Needed: Improving Clinical Trial Design for Neurodegenerative Diseases

We are looking for patient and public contributors to help shape a research project focused on improving clinical trial designs for neurodegenerative diseases.

Members will contribute to: shaping research questions, providing feedback on how trials are explained and to inform future dissemination and communication activities.

Improving urinary continence care for minoritised menopausal women

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.

Digital Pathology and the future NHS workforce – public perspectives wanted

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.

Experiences of surveillance technology in inpatient wards

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.

Antibiotic access in private (non-publicly funded) primary care settings in England

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.
