CCBIONeur910: Patient and Public Involvement in Medical and Health Research, 2024
The course aims to inspire increased user participation in research trials and will present methods on how to involve user representatives. This is highly relevant to all biomedical research fields, and Patient and Public Involvement is documented to positively impact the relevance and efficacy in medical research.
Main content
The main objective of the course is to develop the participants’ capacity to assess and convey the value of patient and public involvement in general, as well as promoting productive user involvement in their own research projects.
The course is a collaboration between CCBIO, Neuro-SysMed, REMEDY, NorHEAD, MATRIX, NorCRIN and FORMI, and the project is supported by the Dam Foundation through Nasjonalforeningen for folkehelsen. Nina Jebsen (CCBIO), Kjell-Morten Myhr (Neuro-SysMed) and Tone Skår (Neuro-SysMed and VIS) are academic responsible for the course. Administrative coordinators are Irini Ktoridou-Valen (irini.ktoridou-valen@helse-bergen.no), Rasmus Olai Collett Humlevik (Rasmus.Humlevik@uib.no), Gard Johanson (gard.johanson@uib.no) and Anna Rubiolo (anna.rubiolo@uib.no).
The course spans over 3 days (April 17-19, 2024), and will combine plenary discussions and group sessions involving user representatives and patient organizations, with presentations from national and international lecturers.
The primary language will be Norwegian, in order to facilitate communication with the patient representatives.
