The Role of Patient Advocates in Research | BTOG
Do you know someone with the lived experience of thoracic malignancy (a patient, survivor, or caregiver) who may be interested in being a Patient Advocate in Research? If so, then BTOG has released the first of three webcasts about the role of patient advocates in research.
Please do circulate and share the link to the webcast.
This first BTOG Webcast includes an introduction from Cecilia Pompili and then Allan Hackshaw looks at what training and support a patient advocate could be offered when they take part in the development of research proposals. The webcast concludes with a “fireside chat” with Sally Hall who is an established patient advocate. The role of a patient advocate in research is often referred to as PPI – PPI stands for Patient and Public Involvement.
