Opportunity: Join University College London's Patient and Public interest in MultiMorbidity Group
As people live to a greater age there is an increased risk of being diagnosed with more than one health condition at a time. This is known as multimorbidity and it has a serious effect on the daily lives of patients, their families, and their carers.
The Multimorbidity Mechanism and Therapeutics Research Collaborative (MMTRC) is a UK wide research project funded for 3 years by the Medical Research Council and run by University College London (UCL).
The project will examine ways to improve the sequence and patterns of multimorbidity and the evidence obtained will aid the care of patients with multiple health conditions. It will also seek to address the problem of coordinating treatments so that treatment for one condition does not cause difficulties in the treatment of another condition by the same patient.
The project is recruiting four new members to join their Patient and Public interest in MultiMorbidity (PiMM) group to bring membership up to eleven public contributors. The PiMM group meets quarterly and you may be required to carry out some work outside of these meetings. You will be reimbursed for your time and expenses incurred while working on this project in line with NIHR Involvement rates.
Deadline to apply for this opportunity is Friday 17 September.
