Take part in an online discussion
Join a relaxed informal online group, where everyone will be invited to give their views about health research. The aim of the discussion is to help staff from the Clinical Research Facility to understand better what people think about health research and how they feel about taking part.
You don’t need to have any previous experience of health research to take part, just be happy to share your views in a group discussion. There will be around 6-8 other people in the group. A member of the Vocal team and a researcher will lead the discussions. The group discussion is entirely confidential, the names of people who take part will not be shared outside the group. The session will be recorded to make sure we don’t miss anything in the discussion.
Information and quotes from the discussion may be included in communications or activities related to health research. No names or identifiable information from participants will be included.
