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.
PPI Opportunity – Evaluation of a Chronic Pain App
A smartphone application for the self-management of chronic pain has been developed in partnership with people with lived experience of chronic pain.
Before going ahead with the study, we would like to pilot run the workshop with a group of PPI volunteers to evaluate the app that has been developed to see if users find it usable and acceptable.
Participation will involve a one hour workshop on Microsoft Teams where you will give the researcher feedback on the study methodology.

Help improve NHS dental services in England using health economics tools
This study, part of the Europe-wide PRUDENT project, explores how the public, dental professionals and NHS policy makers can use economic tools to make better decisions about NHS dental services. You would join a panel made of representatives of these groups and take part in two half day workshops in London to help decide which services should be available in NHS dentistry and which groups of people should not have to pay. We would also interview you to see how you found the experience.
Our Voice Matters – share your views on how we should collect patient data!
We’re exploring how digital tools can collect health info in clinical trials. Your views will help make studies more patient-friendly.
The survey takes 5 mins.
Participants must be 18+ and based in the UK. Everyone’s input is welcome.

Help shape the future of clinical trials
Some trials randomise individuals but deliver treatment in groups (e.g., diabetes sessions). These are common, but the best ways to design and analyse them are unclear, risking unreliable results. I am developing a research proposal to provide guidance. Your role would be to review parts of the funding application and join an online meeting to discuss and give feedback (about 3 hours total)
