We are seeking patients, carers, and members of the public to help shape an important research study exploring how shin injuries (pretibial injuries) heal, and whether early treatment with compression therapy can prevent complications such as leg ulcers.
Your involvement will help ensure the research is relevant, respectful, and focused on what matters most to people affected by these injuries. You do not need any research experience—just a willingness to share your views.
Our research will explore what happens when a second person is asked to check the dispensing, preparation or giving of a medicine in hospital. We are looking at how second-person checking “works” and how it should be used.
We are forming a Patient and Carer Advisory Group to help ensure that the perspectives of patients and carers are at the heart of our research.
We are looking for 5 people who have received medication in hospital in the last 5 years, or have cared for someone who has.
30 minute interview opportunity via MS Teams video call. All parents of children with dysphagia aged 0-17 welcome. Interviews will be about your lived experiences with your child’s swallowing difficulties, including their journey to being diagnosed with dysphagia. Help shape research questions and the study design of future research on paediatric dysphagia.
We are exploring whether reminder letters from schools can help reduce asthma-related absences. This study will also assess whether this approach is practical and acceptable within schools.
We invite children aged 5-16 with asthma who use preventer medication, and their parents or carers, to join a small PPI group. You will meet once or twice a year to share feedback on study materials and design.

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.
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.
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.
