Do you suffer from urinary leaks, despite previous treatment?

We need women to be part of a new female Public Involvement Urology Group to help us to improve the care that we give to our patients. In particular, we are looking for women who experience recurring stress urinary incontinence (SUI). We are investigating the best way to treat this condition and we need your help to ensure we are putting patients at the centre of our research.

When is it?

The Project will take place over five year, and we are aiming to meet approximately twice a year over that time.

What will it involve?

• Reading and feeding back on our new written patient information sheets, so that we can make sure they are easy to understand by the patients who are taking part in the research study.
• Talking about the project in more detail with our research team.
• Access to email would also be helpful.

Is there payment?

We will provide a £20 Love2Shop voucher as a thank you and to cover any out of pocket expenses.

Interested?

Requesting reanalysis of existing data

We're seeking fresh perspectives for our Head Injuries Public Involvement Group within the Intensive Care Unit.

We want to hear from people who have had a head injury in the past, and their families or carers to be part of an ongoing Patient Involvement Group, discussing aspects of upcoming clinical research studies in Intensive Care. The studies will look at possible new treatments for patients with head injuries in Intensive Care.

How you can help

• Assist us in how best to communicate our studies to the families of the patients involved
• Give feedback on patient study information that will be provided to a patient’s family about taking part in a research study
• Join in on Public Involvement Group meetings on an ad hoc basis. At present these are being held virtually.

To ensure that you are not out-of-pocket, we will provide a £25 Love2Shop voucher for each meeting, helping to cover your out of pocket expenses such as parking costs.
