Full description:
We are carrying out research that aims to identify biological factors that can help us predict who will develop worse knee osteoarthritis over time. This research is vital to improving treatments in the future.
We are setting up a public involvement and oversight panel, which will meet 4–6 times over 3 years. If you would like to hear more, or express an interest in taking part in the panel, please complete the short survey below: https://imperial.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2bZVE1ZX57JhbtY

If selected for the panel, you would be paid NIHR rates. This equates to £55 per meeting, which supports approximately 2 hours to take part in the video call and read a few short documents beforehand.
