Using electronic health records to see how well Mounjaro (tirzepatide) works for obesity

We are looking for people living with obesity to advise us on a project proposal. Our project explores whether organisations like the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in the UK can use data from electronic health records to see how well treatments work. We will use Mounjaro (tirzepatide) as a case study.

We will send you a short document to read. We will run a one-hour workshop online in November.
We will present our ideas and ask for your feedback.

Person with lived experience of chronic pain

Training would be provided for this role. I am designing a collaborative intervention between pain specialists and primary care workers, to enhance a social prescribing pathway. I am looking a person to attend some or all of the following meetings;
3 x one hour meetings online
a 2 hour in person meeting to analyse data from interviews (training provided)
1 or 2, two hour co-production workshops in person

This will take place over the next 2 years but most in the next 12 months.

Are you pregnant or recently delivered your baby (within last 3 months)?

We want to hear from pregnant women and women who have recently delivered (in the last 3 months) for the planning of a clinical trial, which aims to test heparin injections to an oral blood thinning medication after delivery.

We want to hear from women not at risk of blood clots.

A 1-hour focus group on TEAMS is planned, where we will discuss with you:
• the proposed trial planned,
• what improvements can be made,
• what, if any concerns you may have in taking part.

Improving the adoption of clinical guidelines for the treatment of gum disease in primary dental care

This study explores the factors that make it easier or harder to adopt new periodontal (gum disease) guidelines in NHS primary care dental services. It will help to understand how to improve the process. The study will also co-develop a strategy to address these factors, improving the delivery of high-quality treatment for gum disease. Improving guideline uptake will benefit patients with gum disease.

Pleural empyema (lung infection) in children – PPIE

We are developing a research study on pleural empyema (a serious lung infection), and we’d love to hear your views!

We’re especially keen to speak with parents or carers of children or young people who have been treated for pleural empyema in hospital.

Your experiences and opinions can help us design research that truly reflects what matters to families.

You will be reimbursed for your time in line with NIHR guidance.

Knee Replacements – Have Your Say: PPIE OPPORTUNITY

We would like to gain insight to patients’ perspectives on the analysis of the qualitative study. We would like to know your thoughts and opinions on the themes that were established during the study.
Secondly, we are looking to conduct a survey to increase the scope of opinion from clinicians’ perspective of the knee replacement pathway. We believe that having your opinions on what could be implemented into the survey would be of great benefit to the overall aims of the project
