What is public engagement?
Public engagement in research means that the public are involved in planning and doing research, and communicating results.
Public engagement can include patients, carers, service users, charities, community groups, policymakers, businesses and industry.
Why do we engage?
Public engagement is vital to our stroke research at the University of Central Lancashire. Our research is strengthened when we include people from outside the university in a process of shared learning.
How do we engage?
1. Public Engagement Group (PEG)
The stroke PEG is an opportunity for patients, the public and researchers to meet and shape our research.
The Stroke PEG is a group of patients, carers, the local community, researchers and clinicians working together to improve the care, support and treatment for people affected by stroke. The group is collaborative and mutually supportive, promoting authentic patient and public involvement in research.
Would you like to get involved? All you need is an interest in health and social care research, some time to spare and a willingness to share your thoughts and experiences with us.
Why not get in touch with us by email to find out more?
