Members of the public needed for Public and Community Involvement, Engagement and Participation Coordinating Group
Background to the research and recruitment opportunity
The PCEIP is a partnership of four universities and providers of health and social care services in the East of England. This partnership works together to plan and carry out health and social care research in the best possible ways. They cover Cambridgeshire and Peterborough; Norfolk; Suffolk; Hertfordshire; Essex; and parts of Bedfordshire. They concentrate their research on four communities where people have high health needs. This may be due to being poor; lacking opportunities; having many different illnesses; or difficulty getting the care they need.
The research areas will include mental health; ageing; dementia; end of life care; population health; and managing multiple conditions.
Their decision-making Boards and Committees will steer Applied Research Collaboration (part of NIHR) work and manage budgets and activities. These groups will include lay members to make sure they act in the communities’ best interests. They will also work closely with other organisations that fund health and social care research to help achieve their aims.
Update December 2020 - the recruitment opportunity closed in November 2019
