It's been inspiring to collaborate with the External Advisory Group to inform a new strategy for public involvement with a focus on non-clinical health & biomedical research @The_MRC
Huge thanks to the EAG members (see below), MRC staff, public partners & everyone involved!
22 Feb 2023
Public involvement in research can help us to focus on areas that will really benefit patients.
We’ve published a report with @letsgetvocal to better understand public involvement activities within MRC research.
More in our new blog⏩ orlo.uk/Q0yaa 📸Jill Jennings
ALT The report concludes that: "Now is the time for a new framing of MRC’s conception of, and ambitions for public involvement as part of an open, transparent, trustworthy and thriving research environment working to the highest standards of research quality and inclusion."
