VERITY JOINING YOUR RESEARCH TEAM BRINGS INVALUABLE INSIGHTS AND CREDIBILITY
​

There is a growing requirement by research funders to ensure studies are co-designed with patients.  Patients' involvement in co-designing research is crucial for a number of reasons, including:
  1. Relevance and impact: Unique insights from their lived experiences with a condition like PCOS. By involving them in research design, studies become more relevant to their needs and priorities, leading to outcomes that are more likely to make a real impact on their lives.
  2. Improved study design: Valuable input on study design, helping researchers develop methodologies that are more sensitive to their needs and preferences. This can lead to better recruitment and retention rates, as well as more meaningful data collection.
  3. Ethical considerations: Ensures that studies are conducted in an ethical and respectful manner. Patients can help identify potential risks and benefits, as well as provide guidance on informed consent processes.
  4. Empowerment and ownership: Empowers patients to take an active role in shaping the direction of research in their condition. It gives them a sense of ownership over the research process and fosters a collaborative relationship between researchers and patients.
  5. Knowledge mobilisation: Patients are more likely to understand and engage with the findings of the study. This can facilitate knowledge mobilisation and dissemination, leading to broader awareness and uptake of research findings within the patient community.
Working with Verity, with the deep knowledge we have of the patient experience and our outstanding professional reputation, we will bring invaluable feedback and credibility to your bid and study.  Our time and involvement will need to form part of your overall costings, and we will work with you to scope this prior to submission.

To invite Verity to represent the patient voice and co-design your application and join as a co-applicant please get in touch by emailing [email protected] with 'research co-design' as the subject heading.
