Get involved in research and innovation at GOSH
Involving patients and members of the public is essential to the research we carry out at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) and the UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health (UCL GOS ICH). As such, patient and public involvement is embedded in the NIHR GOSH BRC.
High quality research depends on listening to the voices of children and young people, as well as their families and carers, taking account of their experiences, priorities and perspectives. This process of joint working is vital to how we design and carry out our research.
We involve and engage patients and the public in our research through:
- Involvement: We aim to actively consult, involve and listen to patients and members of the public about their views on our research. We do this via our GOSH Young Persons' Advisory Group for research (YPAG) and our GOSH Parent and Carer Research Advisory Group (PCAG).
- Engagement: We aim to raise awareness of research carried out by NIHR GOSH BRC and GOSH researchers amongst patients and members of the public.
