Public Involvement Workshop 4: Participant Documentation & Recruitment

Participant Information Documents must be accessible to the audience to which research is being targeted. Patients and the public can provide valuable feedback to ensure documents are easy to read and contain the relevant information for people to make an informed decision about participation in research. Involving patients and the public in planning recruitment can provide valuable insights about how and where to recruit participants. We will cover how to identify the most appropriate people to involve in these activities and share examples. This session is aimed at those who have completed “Public Involvement-The Basics” and ideally “Public Involvement Early in the Research Cycle”.

*All sessions are co-delivered with public contributors. *

Please Note

Please note that these training sessions have been designed as a series and we recommend that people attend as many as possible. Places will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, but priority will be given to researchers and members of the public affiliated to the NIHR Imperial Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), Patient Experience Research Centre (PERC) or Imperial Clinical Trials Unit (ICTU). If you are a member of the public or a researcher who is not affiliated with Imperial College, you may also be able to attend if there are spaces available.

As sessions work best with a mix of researchers and members of the public, we allocate places to each category of attendee. Therefore, you may be informed after registration that the places for researchers or members of the public are full which will mean you will need to register for the next available session.

Upon registration you will be asked to provide your line manager's email address indicating that you have received approval to attend this session and that the charge for non-attendance is acknowledged.
