REPOST: One of our collaborating partners HSC R&D would like to hear your thoughts on PPI work in Northern Ireland.

They welcome ideas from PPI contributors, researchers, health and social care professionals, the community and voluntary sector, and people interested in being involved in research.

Partnership with Health and Care Research Wales at Senedd Wales and launch of the Inclusive Research Action Plan:

@drmahendrapatel.bsky.social shared that partnerships aren't about ticking boxes. They're about communities being valued, involved, and shaping research that matters to them.

@drmahendrapatel.bsky.social kicks off with a keynote lecture at the University of South Wales reflecting on the mission to inclusive research.

He stressed that research shouldn't be a one-size fits all, everyone in the community must benefit from research.
