Getting Involved

Are you a patient, a carer, a service user or member of the public?

• Are you interested in research about things that affect you or someone you care for?
  
• Can you offer your skills and experience to help research to be more relevant?

If so, we can help you!

Involving People can help you to become involved in research, working with researchers to plan, manage, carry out and present research.

If you are a researcher seeking to involve people to work with you in your research, please visit the Researchers section for further information on how Involving People can help you.

Additional Information

If you are interested in getting involved in research, you may find the 'Jargon Buster' a useful resource. This document was produced by INVOLVE. A Welsh language version is also now available - the translation was completed by ‘Cymraeg Clir’ (the Welsh language version of Plain English) in consultation with LLAIS.
