The below asks why it’s so important to consult and engage widely to inform decisions for health and care services. Simply put, it shares the benefits that arise when those who will be affected by the research - healthcare workers, care givers, and patients or potential patients who use health and social care services – and ensures that they are involved in its creation. Motivations for engagement can be many and varied. The following list is not comprehensive but has been developed with the support of those who have been there - patient and public members, researchers, and public engagement professionals.
