A new video, created by Dr Chris Hurst PhD from the Age Research Group, explains this and much more:
The video was co-produced with several members of the public who have experience of living with muscle weakness.
To ensure that the video delivered the right messages in an effective way we carried out some virtual patient and public involvement workshops.
These workshops enabled discussion around general issues such as ‘What is research’ and ‘What is the purpose of research’ as well as some more specific discussion about language and imagery that would be helpful and could support the messages in the video.
