We are seeking members of the public and patients to be involved in a Patient and Public Involvement Group (PPI) in the field of heart failure. We are in the early stages of designing a clinical study looking at artificial intelligence in the diagnosis of heart failure, and will be looking for PPI contributions in study design and insights/feedback during the course of the study as well.
Who can participate?
Insights from patients and the public who have ties to heart failure are welcomed. We want to be able to incorporate experiences and ideas from those who have had experiences with heart failure, whether this means you yourself have been diagnosed with heart failure, have been a carer for someone with heart failure, or have a family member who has been diagnosed with heart failure.
What will be involved?
We will be requesting support to fund this study from the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) and if successful, we will take the study forward and will be happy to incorporate PPI group members at all stages. We will hold periodic meetings (remotely or in person if possible) where we discuss the study as it progresses. If you have an interest in providing ideas towards clinical study design, providing feedback/insight from a patient perspective, participating in interpretation of results of the study, presenting results to the public, or learning more about clinical research involvement, please consider reaching out. You do not need to contribute to every step of the study (unless you’d like to of course!) but can participate in parts that most interest you.
What is the time commitment?
We will look to have various meetings during the setup of the study and throughout the length of the study. The study will look to last for roughly 2-3 years. The frequency of these meetings will vary, but will not be any more frequent than every 3 months. You do not have to participate in every meeting if you are not able.
What are the benefits to me?
There will be training opportunities for PPI members in various topic areas such as research methods, medical terminology, presentation skills, and more if desired. You will be compensated for your time and travel (if required). If meeting in person, refreshments will be provided. Also, you will become part of ground-breaking research aiming at improving the health and care of those with heart failure.
We are trying to build a rich and diverse group of patients and the public who can provide valuable insight from their own perspectives in an effort to make this study as impactful and meaningful as possible!
This listing will expire at 4:50pm on Saturday 2nd March 2024
Reimbursement
Reasonable reimbursement for travel (if holding meetings in person) will be provided. Reimbursement for time participating (in person or remotely) will be provided.
