Research project

Co-designing patient facing resources to increase ethnic representation in clincal trials.

Project overview

The project used community engagement and co-production methods to bring together our research team and the local community through a series of face-to-face workshops with people from diverse ethnic backgrounds. Using creative approaches, small discussion groups and iterative feedback we discussed existing trial materials and how these can be improved and made more engaging to people from ethnic minority communities. Together, we co-designed a template framework for research teams designing new patient-facing trial materials and a prototype for an online “safe space” to encourage a more diverse group of participants in our clinical trials.
