Improving the experience of participating in research
Winning group: Participation Steering Group
Julie Jones, Jodie Keyworth, Alan Cameron, Tom Payne, Laurel Miller, Catherine Addlestone and Jon Day
For over 6 years, this group — made up of people with Parkinson’s or their loved ones, researchers and health professionals — has been working to come up with ways to better share opportunities to take part in research and improve the participation experience.
The group has previously helped to develop our Take Part Hub — a tool on our website that you can search with a postcode for research studies that are looking for participants. To date we have helped 320 studies to find people to take part.
Building on this, over the last year and a half, the group has developed and launched a new toolkit to help researchers stay in contact with their participants. It was created after a Parkinson’s UK survey showed that 72% of people who’ve taken part in Parkinson’s research didn’t hear anything after contributing. We needed to help change this. Together, we are now spreading the word to get researchers using the tools.
The toolkit is relevant to all areas and aspects of health research, not just Parkinson’s. It’s pioneering in making research more transparent and to ensure people are engaged and connected after they have taken part in a study.
This work is testament to how we can work together to drive change and improve research. So, thank-you to everyone involved.
