How we work with patients and communities

People with lived experience of health conditions bring unique and valuable knowledge to the research process.

We work with patients and communities, both directly and through our charity partners, to understand unmet needs and identify research priorities.

By involving patients as partners, we can ensure promising scientific discoveries lead to long-lasting impact.

What do we want to achieve?

We are committed to driving forward meaningful patient engagement in translational research.

We’re currently developing our strategy for patient engagement and will be working alongside the patient community to shape our approach.

Long-term, our aim is to support the development of a more equitable ecosystem where lived experience is embedded in every stage of translational science.
