- Public and Patient Involvement in Research
Background:
- A meeting convened by Carnegie UK (CUK) and National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) INVOLVE focused on the co-production of research.
- The event brought together public contributors and research organization representatives to discuss practical implementation and barriers to co-production.
- Co-production aims to foster equal collaboration between the public and researchers in the research process.
Discussion:
- Challenges remain in establishing co-production as 'business as usual' in research.
- The need for a compelling 'business case' to advocate for co-production was highlighted.
- Discussions addressed power dynamics within research and the importance of creating supportive conditions for collaboration.
Key Insights:
- Co-production requires a cultural shift towards a kinder research environment focused on relationship development.
- Sufficient time is essential for high-quality, honest conversations that acknowledge power imbalances.
- Co-production is viewed as a societal good that enhances public well-being through collaborative research.
Outlook:
- Universities' broader civic roles can support the normalization of co-production.
- The COVID-19 pandemic may prompt more radical rethinking of research collaboration methods.
- Moving forward requires recognizing co-production as an ongoing journey with potential for innovation.
