Being a public contributor is not a ‘nice to have’ in health and care research - it is a skilled role that truly helps to shape research and influence priorities. Read what our public contributor Kate wishes people knew more about the role below. #ResearchAppreciationDay
I wish more people knew... I wish more people understood that being a public contributor in health and care research is skilled, impactful work—not a token role or a “nice to have”! Public contributors bring far more than lived experience; they offer critical insight, challenge assumptions and help ensure research is relevant, inclusive and usable in the real world. Kate Public contributor

What could you get out of being involved with health and care research? Read what Melissa said about this below. #ResearchAppreciationDay
I wish people knew... You can make a genuine, tangible difference by working alongside clinicians and researchers to keep reminding them of how important it is that research is shaped by the people it ultimately serves. You also develop your own skills, such as communication, perseverance, and respectful challenge. Melissa Public contributor

"I wanted to help my brother." After Felix was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at age 7, he and his younger brother Eric both took part in research at @NorthCandMNHS, including D-CYPHR - part of @NIHRBioResource. Today, they're helping researchers better understand type 1 diabetes and improve care for future families. Read their story and find out how you can get involved in research: bioresource.nihr.ac.uk/news/… #BePartOfResearch
Two young individuals sit on a couch smiling, with a colourful abstract painting in the background. On the left side, there’s text from the NIHR, reading: "You should just do it. You might end up helping develop something to make your life easier." At the bottom, it notes "Felix and Eric, Research Participants," alongside a logo celebrating 20 years.
