Health research can sometimes feel difficult to access, especially for people who have not been involved before.

This website aims to make it easier for people, communities and researchers to connect, share opportunities, and work together on research that is relevant, inclusive and useful.

Project background

This website was developed by the Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery & Palliative Care, King’s College London, through the Inclusive Research and Education Practices (IREP) project.
