Engaging every patient in research
To encourage patients to take part in research, we asked a variety of people who were initially hesitant to take part, to share their stories.
These people were residents from small coastal towns and we ensured that we heard stories from people from a range of ages, different ethnic backgrounds, and disabilities. We used the experience of these people to inform the development of the three stories in this book.
We hope that by sharing these stories we might encourage more people to get involved in research.
