Are you passionate about using patient important outcomes in research? Do you want to learn how agreeing such outcomes with key stakeholders leads to the development of a core outcome set – helping reduce waste and improving the quality of research? Then come and join our webinar. We will provide an overview of core outcome sets (you can watch a brief introductory animation here first). Two patients and a patient organisation representative who have all been involved in developing core outcome sets will join the session and briefly present their experiences. We will also explore the challenges of patient input into core outcome set development and provide links for further information. Join us for our action-packed webinar!
This session is aimed at organisations and individuals working in patient and public involvement (PPI) as well as patient organisations and patients / the public undertaking PPI in research who have an interest in patient important outcomes for research. (The webinar will be presented in plain language and will include patient organisation stories).
