Public Involvement Opportunity: Help Shape Research on ICU Delirium Prevention

We’re inviting people with lived experience of intensive care—patients or family members—to help shape the next phase of a family voice message programme that supports orientation and comfort for ICU patients. This simple, family-led approach has been successfully piloted and now aims to test its use across multiple NHS hospitals. Especially welcoming people who experienced delirium and those from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds.

Priority setting for childhood limb fractures

This project is a priority setting partnership looking to define the top 10 research questions for children with arm or leg fractures.

We are looking for people with lived experience of childhood arm and leg fractures to join our steering group. This may be as a patient or as a caregiver (parent, grandparent etc).

This would involve attending up to 10 online meetings that will be scheduled bi-monthly during the course of the project and reviewing project documents.

Research in people who are overweight or living with obesity undergoing surgery in the NHS

People who are overweight/obese are at increased risk of complications from surgery. We want to see if using GLP1 drugs (Mounjaro/ Wegovy) can help patients lose weight before surgery and improve outcomes.

We are looking for people who have experience of being overweight/obese who have undergone surgery, or people who are using GLP1 to lose weight and waiting for surgery. This will involve an online meeting in late October/early November, the input from which will inform research design, trial outcomes and delivery.

Social Media, Misinformation and Vaccines

I am looking for adults to join an online focus group to help shape research on how vaccine content on social media may influence people’s attitudes, experiences, and decisions around vaccination.

I will limit the focus group(s) to no more than 6 members of the public alongside myself, and it will last no longer than 1 hour although you are of course welcome to leave before the end.

Diabetes research opportunity

This project is about how people living with diabetes are able to access GLP-1 agonist medicines, and how effective these medicines are.
Researchers in our group are studying how electronic health data can help improve medical guidelines, and understand how these guidelines are followed in real life.
If you take part, you will meet with us online to hear about our research, and tell us about your experiences. You will also help decide how we share our research findings with the wider public.

Health Outcomes for Pandemic Evaluation (HOPE)

After a global disaster, assessment of long-term impact is often overlooked; we need information on long-term impacts on people, health services and society as a whole. We want to develop an international toolkit to help to improve pandemic coordination and preparedness. We are looking for people who are interested in guiding this project and sharing their views on what long-term impacts are important to capture in international studies.
