About this Event
Engaging Communities Solutions CIC (ECS) who deliver Healthwatch Stoke-on-Trent, are delighted to be working with UHNM on the development of their Commercial Research Delivery Centre (CRDC). The CRDC initial development is being funded by a grant from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).
We are working with them to ensure that our local communities are actively involved in the development of public and patient involvement and engagement (PPIE) at the CRDC.
On Wednesday 11th November 2026, 2pm - 3pm, we are holding the first of our next series of events via Microsoft Teams to understand what barriers are stopping people - like you - from being part of research. By the end of this series of workshops, we hope to have broken down barriers improving public participation in research.
