Patient and public involvement and engagement

We know that vital health research can only take place if it is informed and shaped by the people it will ultimately benefit…the public.  

Successful research isn’t done ‘to’ patients but created in collaboration ‘with’ patients. This is especially true of health research using smartphones and wearables as it is fully reliant on active public participation.  

Health research from Home strives to work in equal partnership with patients and the public.

We are recruiting patient partners to help us develop our research studies. If you have a lived experience of knee osteoarthritis and have undergone knee replacement surgery, we would love to hear from you.  Please email hrfh@manchester.ac.uk to find out more. 

If you’re a member of the public or a patient who wants to find out how you can contribute to the wider Health Research from Home partnership, please contact: hrfh@manchester.ac.uk.
