University of Aberdeen Research Group Looking for Patient and Public Contributors

The University of Aberdeen Epidemiology Group specialises in research looking at the causes, risk factors and management of rheumatic and musculoskeletal conditions such as arthritis, fibromyalgia and chronic pain.

In their research, collaboration with people with lived experience of these conditions is vital to help them identify the most relevant research priorities, create better study designs, improve management of their research projects, and increase public awareness of their research findings.

They are looking for people with lived experience of musculoskeletal or pain conditions to give input into their research via their Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) group.

They offer a range of opportunities to feed into their work, including:

·        Giving feedback on research questions and plans

·        Providing input on study design

·        Commenting on study documents and questionnaires

·        Helping to shape plain language summaries of research findings

·        Boosting the spread and reach of their research

If you would like to find out more about the work they do, including how you can sign up to stay notified of upcoming public involvement opportunities, please visit their website: https://www.abdn.ac.uk/epippi
