EQUIP-IN – Public Involvement
The perspectives and contributions of older adults with experience of using equipment and minor adaptations to get washed are invaluable to the success of the EQUIP-IN study.
How is the public involved with EQUIP-IN?
We’ve formed an insight panel of members of the public who are helping us to shape the research by providing insight from their lived experiences. This way the study remains relevant and meaningful to the people it aims to benefit.
What is the role of the public insight panel?
The insight panel is working with us to co-develop each stage of the research process. The members:
- provide public and patient perspectives on all aspects of the research
- review and comment on study materials, including participant-facing documents
- advise on recruitment strategies and engagement approaches
- support interpretation of findings to ensure they are meaningful and accessible
- guide dissemination activities to maximise impact and reach
- act as ambassadors for the study where appropriate
It’s led by our co-applicant Miriam Golding-Day and public co-applicant Claire Klauza who have a wealth of experience of leading public involvement in research.
How can I get involved?
If you’re an older adult with experience of using bathing equipment and minor adaptations and are interested in joining our public insight panel, please contact us.
