Our vision is to ensure that the public and local communities are at the heart of our research to shape health and social care. Central to our involvement and engagement values are kindness, respect, dignity and inclusivity.
Members of the public help guide the research we do and are embedded in all of our work
Public involvement in research is research carried out ‘with’ or ‘by’ members of the public rather than ‘to’, ‘about’ or ‘for’ them.
Learn about our collaborative approach working with the public to shape our research and ensure its meaningful impact on our local communities.
We have a research theme dedicated to finding out the best ways to involve patients, service users, carers and members of the public in research.
Working collaboratively and engaging with communities is at the heart of ARC EoE
ARC East of England has joined health and social care organisations, including NHS England and the NIHR, in committing to improve the extent and quality of public involvement in research.
Here is a list of useful links and resources for anyone interested in public involvement in research.
