Abstract: This report describes the setting up of a Patient Panel to advise on the Telescot study. This study aimed to explore the feasibility of using home telemonitoring of blood pressure for people affected by stroke. The research team worked with a local voluntary organisation to recruit people to the panel and to provide initial training and induction. The Panel advised on delivery and dissemination. The authors draw out the lessons from their experience with the aim of improving future practice.
