PPI Engagement Afternoon

We are looking for people to help us think about the questions we should be asking in our research into Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, and dementia. We have a particular focus on looking at the causes, and exploring the possibilities for preventing these diseases.

We're bringing together people who have an interest in these conditions, either as someone who has the disease, or has a personal or particular connection. We are planning an afternoon of informal conversations, so that we can find out what you think the priorities should be for our research. We're also interested in finding out your views on preventive medical strategies in general.

There'll be a short introduction to the Unit, followed by group conversations for each different disease, finishing with a general discussion for everyone. The whole event should last around an hour and a half, and we'll be providing tea and coffee.

Schedule:

1.45pm: Arrival, refreshments and registration

2pm: Introductions from the researchers

2.15pm: Disease-specific discussions. Please let us know when you register which group you'd like to join.

3pm: General discussion

3.30pm: End
