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.
