Working with those affected by our research

Ensuring AI is shaped by the people it is designed to serve

We bring together people living with multiple long-term conditions, informal caregivers and communities traditionally underrepresented in research.

Panel members work alongside researchers across the research lifecycle so our work stays relevant, inclusive, trustworthy and grounded in lived experience.
