Training in public engagement and patient involvement
The public programmes team at Nowgen delivers a range of training workshops.
We have given researchers practical support to help them communicate and engage with the public, and to involve patients and the public in their research.
We have trained over 250 researchers since 2003 and we continue to develop partnerships and run new training workshops. We are keen to share best practice and encourage more researchers to engage with the public.

“Many people clearly don’t understand that the public need to be involved in the process of research, not just used as subjects of study”
Professor Celia Davies, Director, NIHR Research for Patient Benefit Programme. How can public engagement benefit your research?
ResearchThis model entails involving the public in planning, implementing and disseminating research – genuinely listening to people’s views and allowing them to inform the direction of the research. We endeavour to highlight the importance of meaningful public engagement to health professionals and scientists, providing support through information and training. UK funding bodies are placing increasing emphasis on public engagement and PPI (Patient and Public Involvement) with research. Nowgen is keen to work in partnership with researchers to help them fulfil their public engagement commitments. |
