“(Almost) Everything you need to know about identifying, recruiting and supporting patients/service users as collaborators in education and research”
26th November 2014, 1-2pm
A225, College Building, City University London
Join Professor Alan Simpson Professor of Collaborative Mental Health Nursing in the School of Health Sciences, City University London and Lead for the Centre for Mental Health Research, in exploring how educators and researchers often see the merits of involving patients or service users in their teaching or research studies and are keen to ‘give it a go’ but get waylaid in various worries, concerns and questions. Things like:
“How do I identify and engage suitable people?”
“What can I ask them to do?”
“What if the stress makes them ill?”
“Will the students listen to them?”
“What about training and support?”
During the seminar Professor Simpson will draw on research literature, his experiences and those of colleagues to explore some of these challenges and how best to address them.
