01 Jul 2025At ARC North Thames, Patient, public and community involvement, engagement and participation are at the heart of everything we do.
Public contributors are involved in every aspect of our work. and contribute in a number of ways:
A Research Advisory Panel (RAP) allows members of the public to provide input and advice to researchers, to ensure they consider the needs of patients, service-users and the public. Our RAP meets throughout the year to review new research proposals.
Our Virtual Document Review Panel (VDRP) looks at materials such as consent forms and patient information sheets, to ensure these are accessible and written in ‘plain English’.
