Research Network

Research Network

Our Participation Research Network is an opportunity to share learning, best practice and exciting news about public engagement research and public participation projects with a health or care focus.

It is open to practitioners, policy makers, researchers and everyone with an interest in sharing evidence on participation (public involvement, engagement, co-production) in health and social care.

The network is a forum for sharing the latest information and evidence and updates on UK and international practice. It connects researchers, practitioners and policy makers.

Pre-pandemic we held an annual event with presentations from across the country and opportunities to discuss and network. Our monthly webinars cover a wide range of topics to do with engaging people and communities, designing health and care services, and promoting equality and diversity.

Webinar series

We are running a mini-series of webinars during November, following a call for abstracts. The webinars focus on:

  • Engagement in mental health practices
  • Engaging with adults with learning disabilities
  • Involving people with dementia in healthcare research and practice
  • Creative methods for engagement
  • Digital engagement in health and social care research, policy and practice

This webinar series is free and open to all to attend.
