At a recent Trial Managers Course, Dawn Milligan, one of the members of the RUSH Patient Reference Group was kind enough to give a presentation on taking part in a research trial. We asked Dawn how the experience went. Dawn provided this perspective:
I was delighted to give the keynote lecture to the Edinburgh Clinical Trial Management Course on 6 November. I talked about my experience of taking part in the CARE trial, and what it had felt like to be a patient on a randomised clinical trial. I hope that by hearing about my personal perspective, particularly the uncertainty we face with having a cavernoma and the challenges that surround that, it will have helped the trial managers at the course to understand why involving patients and organisations at the heart of the research process is so important and shared her top tips on improving Patient and Public Involvment and Engagment in research.
Thank you to Dawn for getting involved.
