Research involvement group
There are a number of ways that service users and patients and carers are involved in research within the Trust, not only as a potential research participant.
The Trust’s research involvement group (RIG) meets monthly and gives researchers the chance to come along and get advice from service users and carers. The group discusses the potential patient benefits of their research ideas, help with the recruitment process and ways to ensure their research is more ethically sound.
The RIG also meet up to review mainly student research projects (non-portfolio studies) and review around three projects per month looking at participant sensitive issues such as the recruitment and informed consent process.
If you would like to attend a meeting to discuss your research idea or current study with the group, please contact the research and development team at research@swyt.nhs.uk or call 01924 316289.
