Webinar – Reviewing lay summaries as a public partner (online training)

Thursday 22 January at 12:00 pm 1:30 pm

This informative and practical online training session will discuss the importance of lay summaries (or plain English summaries) in medical research and what’s involved in a lay reviewer role.

Who’s it for?

It’s aimed at members of the public who would like to contribute to the research process. This session will give you the skills and confidence to be a lay reviewer when the opportunity arises.

You will get practical advice from a public partner and researchers who work in patient and public involvement and research. You can have a go at reviewing a lay summary as part of a supportive team and also receive a checklist of what to do if you are asked to be a reviewer.
