Michael's Top 10 for getting more people involved locally in research for the East Midlands...
My Ten ideas on how to improve the involvement of
everyone especially the public in research.
- Get the message across on how important research is to the public.
Two Suggestions ‘Take part in Research to save lives’ ‘ By taking part in
Research you can improve the NHS’ with the contact details. Placed in all
feasible public places.
- Institute of Mental Health to list and publicise ten successful
outcomes of their research.
- Encourage people who have been a participant in a research trial to
post on Patient Opinion.
- A large article in the Positive Magazine of researchers and
participants experience of research and their pleasure in helping improve
the Nation’s health. Including contact details
- Message to all staff and members of the Trust and its associates to
join a database of willing participants in research.
- All NHS staff where feasible to ask people if they would like to
take part in research and add their details to a list.
- Dispel the idea of aged wild haired professors in white coats
playing with test tubes in a laboratory. By showing normal looking staff
doing their research by data searches and interviewing etc in a short
promotional film.
- Stories from patients whom have had their lives saved or improved
by research.
- Patient Experience questionnaire to include question on ‘Would you
be prepared to take part in research projects to improve your and other
people’s health.
- Ask researchers on their ten ideas. It may educate and inspire
them.
