How did this begin?


Following the annual meeting of the Trent - Comprehensive Local Research Network (CLRN), Michael Osborne (service user) and I (cancer patient) arranged to meet Mike Cooke (Chair of Trent CLRN & Chief Executive of Nottinghamshire Healthcare Trust)

We have a common belief that research makes a significant difference for patients and service users in NHS and Social Care. We each have very different experiences yet quickly realised that we could work and learn together.

During our meeting Mike asked Michael and I to consider 10 Simple Steps to making a difference to research across the East Midlands.  

We also think that working together and bringing our own perspectives, experience and knowledge makes for better planning, design, delivery and dissemination of research.


We each wrote our Top 10s and then thought we needed to share them with others and get even more ideas.
