We are looking for parents and young people aged 18–30 to advise on LION-CUB, a study based at Imperial College London. We particularly want to hear from people with no experience of paediatric intensive care (PICU). That means parents whose child has never been admitted to PICU, and young people who were never admitted themselves. Your views as someone who uses NHS services are what matter.

We are recruiting people with hearing loss to share their experiences to help shape research. We will be holding 2 – 3 focus group interviews.

You are eligible to take part if you are 18 years old or older; have experience of hearing loss; & listen to music in your day-to-day life.

The study will involve taking part in an online focus group (about 1 hour) and sharing your views and experiences about hearing loss, listening to music, mental health and wellbeing.

We have funding available to find out better ways of including the military connected community into research.

Who can take part?

We are focusing on those connected to the military community in East Suffolk and North Essex.

What is involved?

The first online event will be via Teams on Monday 16th November 2026 at 1pm and last for approx. an hour (formal invite to follow dependant on eligibility)

See flyer attached for further details.

Join us to learn about sepsis research, share your experience and meet researchers and others affected by sepsis and serious infections.

We’ll talk about what matters to people, explore research happening now and discuss how people can help shape research in the future.

Anyone with experience of sepsis or a serious infection can join, including pneumonia, urinary tract infections, blood poisoning or meningitis.

We want to find out whether it is safe, easy for staff to use, and suitable for use across the NHS. The research will also help the NHS prepare for rapidly increasing ventilator availability in a future pandemic.

This is a high-priority research project, funded through the NIHR’s ‘fast-track’ funding system. It is a unique opportunity to be involved in a high-profile programme of research that brings together industry, academics, healthcare workers, policy makers and patients.

We are looking for public contributors to help improve how stepped wedge trials, a type of health research study, are designed and carried out. You will help us develop a funding application, including reviewing a plain English summary. If funded, you will have opportunities to help guide the research and advise on how the findings are communicated. Training and support will be provided.
