Patient Research Ambassadors
Are you passionate about promoting the importance of taking part in research to the public?
Could you help researchers with their research projects to ensure patients' voices are heard?
A Patient Research Ambassador (PRA) is someone who promotes health research from the point of view of someone who has taken part in research to patients, the public and healthcare professionals.
Activities include:
- talking about your experience of research at events
- talking to the media about your experience of research
- supporting training of researchers so they see their role from a patient point of view
- promoting research through social media such as Twitter.
The initiative is managed by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), which helps the NHS, public health and social care carry out research.
