Joining the Folk.us mailing list means you will be sent, information about our activities.
Folk.us now has two roles:
- To continue working on our own research projects working with local patients, service users and carers, so that we have firsthand experience and knowledge about the issues of involving people in research. Please see 'Our Work' to find out more about these projects.
- Providing advice and support regarding service user, patient and carer involvement in research, to the Research Design Services across England. This new role is at a very early stage and Folk.us will initially be working with 3 RDS to develop best practice. Our role will be to give hands on advice and help to the RDSs to support their Patient Public Involvement activities and strategies. There is more information on RDSs on the NIHR website.
Our role complements the work of INVOLVE, who lead on national policy advice and guidance regarding involvement across all research structures.
