Research is the single most important way to improve our healthcare – by identifying new means to prevent, diagnose and treat disease.

At CCS NHS Trust we have a dedicated Research Team which works closely with the Regional Research Delivery Network (RRDN), to support the set up and delivery of National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) research projects. We are committed to offering patients' opportunities to be involved in research. Find out more about research participation below.

Research participation is where people take part in a research study. Be Part of Research is a free service which makes it easy to find and take part in vital health and care research across the UK. It's easy to get involved. Simply sign up online and choose the health and care research that matters to you. You will be sent details of approved studies that match your interests to decide if you want to take part.

Join dementia research. The service connects registered volunteers with dementia researchers across the UK who are looking for people to join their studies. Taking part means you will make a real difference to the future of dementia care, diagnosis and treatment. Register your interest in dementia research

Involvement in research

Research Involvement is an active partnership between patients, carers and members of the public with researchers that influences and shapes research. There are a number of different ways you can support Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) in research. This may include volunteering to help researchers develop or run their projects, or becoming a Patient Research Ambassador or Research Champion. Learn more about Public Involvement

 

The NIHR RDN Eastern Getting Involved In Research Newsletters has more information on how you can get involved in Research.
