We’re looking for people who live or work in Gorton to tell us what questions matter to them about their health and wellbeing experiences

  • tick--iconTraditionally, research teams ask communities for their input on a specific area of health research for example, cancer prevention.
  • tick--iconWe will broaden the conversation to include all areas of health and wellbeing so that the community can define what will be discussed.
  • tick--iconBy questions we mean the things that members of the community would like to investigate.

Help shape health and wellbeing research priorities in Gorton

We’re collaborating in Gorton with Healthy Me Healthy Communities and the James Lind Alliance on a project funded by the NIHR Clinical Research Network. By working together with residents, community organisations and healthcare workers, we aim to identify the health and wellbeing challenges and the research questions that are most important to people from the local area.

You can have your say by answering two questions about your health and wellbeing experiences. You can do that by:
