September 2010. Full report of a service user workshop run by Shaping Our Lives for INVOLVE.

Authors: Fran Branfield, Peter Beresford

The workshop held in March 2010 was attended by a diverse group of service users interested in health and social care research. The aim was to find out how more people can be actively involved in research, especially groups and people whose views are heard less often in wider society.

This report details the ideas and perspectives from the 11 service user participants, summarises the discussion between the service user participants and INVOLVE and sets out the service user identified recommendations for future work to improve and expand the groups and people getting involved with research.
