Why this course matters  

The Covid-19 pandemic demonstrated the vital links between research, communities and public engagement as the new vaccines and their roll out progressed. Unprecedented levels of media coverage included a wide spectrum of public opinion, which ranged from scepticism and misinformation through to support and gratitude. Over half a million members of the public joined the Covid research registry and many are still taking part in trials. This daytime course is an opportunity to explore beyond the numbers and the rhetoric. We will examine innovative and honest ways of generating and spreading knowledge. We will also explore how to foster the uptake of this knowledge through partnerships with care sectors, the public and communities. Partnerships that reflect creativity and justice.  

Who is it for?  

This unique interdisciplinary Continuing Professional Course led by Dr Kristin Liabo and other experts is relevant to researchers undertaking health and care research, including PhD students, and people in PPIE co-ordinator/facilitator roles. Linking research and practice, it will be tailored to those who are working across different disciplines in healthcare, social care, and public health.
