Get Involved in Research

  1. Patient & Public Involvement
  2. Get Involved in Research

Why Get Involved in Research?

People have different reasons for getting involved in health research. Some people are already patients with a health problem and want to help find a solution. Some are carers of someone with a health condition and want to help find solutions to their loved ones health condition. You may have no health problems, but really want to help improve healthcare for people today and in the future.

 

Our Health Research Stories

Irene Soulsby talks about why she became involved in research and what benefits have come from this

 

Researcher Experience of PPI

Jadine Scragg, a PhD student from Newcastle University, talks about how important public involvement was to her research and how it made her realise how much of an impact her work has on peoples lives.

How to Take Part in Research

We have specific terms to describe research with the public:

  • Involvement – where members of the public are actively involved in projects and with research organisations

  • Engagement – where we share research, knowledge and information with the public

  • Participation – where people take part in a research study

BioResource Centre Newcastle

 

The NIHR BioResource is a panel of more than 300,000 people who have volunteered to take part in research studies.

The BioResource Centre Newcastle is working hard across the region to collect information from people in the North East of England.

They are also a Centre for the IMID (Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases) BioResource and the NAFLD (Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) BioResource.
