Patient involvement with research design

Have a look at some of the patient partner groups (PPGs) that we have held below

 

The most important way that patients help with our research is by reporting about their experiences living with the condition, by completing TONiC questionnaire packs. The second invaluable contribution is by taking part in one of our events to shape future research. Information on how to join these is in our Patient Partner Group (PPG) meetings or newsletters.

Most of our Patient Partner Groups are attended online, if you would like to join online after being sent an invite, please find instructions on how to use Microsoft Teams here
