Join Health Data Research UK advisory board

Do you have an opinion on how health data should be used for research? Interested in sharing your views to shape Health Data Research UK's work?  

Health Data Research UK (HDR UK) is looking for up to nine new members, including a Chair and Deputy Chair, to join its Public Advisory Board (PAB) to provide the patient and public perspective on the use of health data in research for public benefit. Aisha Kekere-Ekun, Public Advisory Board member says:

Being part of the Public Advisory Board has been such a unique experience. It’s a very strategic role that relies on you drawing from your prior knowledge and experience to give feedback and come up with new ideas."

Aisha has been on the PAB for almost a year and helped design questionnaires to learn more about patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) strategies as well as filmed videos explaining her views on different projects. Aisha and other members of PAB provide feedback on presentation from PhD students, research staff and senior members of the organisation. You can read more about Aisha's experiences here.

HDR UK's goal is to unite the UK’s health data to enable discoveries that improve people’s lives. Their Public Advisory Board has been in place since January 2019 to help with ensuring that their work is driven to deliver benefits to patients and the public.

If you have an opinion on health data research, joining the Public Advisory Board could be the perfect fit for you.
