We encourage all researchers to work closely with voluntary sector groups and patients and the public to make sure their views are included in research proposals.

RDS London public advisers’ database

We are always looking for groups or individuals who would like to get involved in research and provide much needed input and advice. No special skills are required, just a willingness to contribute.

If you would like to be added to our database or if you would like more information please email us.

NIHR People in Research

NIHR People in Research provides opportunities for public involvement in NHS, public health and social care research.

The database allows researchers to post opportunities for public involvement, and for members of the public to then search through them and contact contact researchers directly to get involved with projects.

NB that the NIHR Be Part of Research is for recruiting research participants, not for public involvement in research. Users of the NHS App can now access this service directly via the app.
