Working with the Community Interest Company, Pathways Associates and People First Merseyside, and other academic collaborators, to co-develop research training for people with learning disabilities.
The aim of this work is to provide people with learning disabilities and autistic people with an introduction to research, information on how to become involved in research from a Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) perspective and how that differs from participation. It will help understanding about what good practice is, and how to break down barriers with people with learning disabilities and autistic people.
Funding from the GM REN programme is helping to ensure that the work is co-developed, as well as reasonable adjustments are met for people involved in developing this work. Through this work, stronger and more meaningful working partnerships have been created with people with learning disabilities and/or autism wanting to become involved in research.
This poster is a co-developed collaboration between research champions at Pathways Associates CIC, NIHR Greater Manchester Patient Safety Research Collaboration and NIHR Applied Research Collaboration North West Coast.
