This document discusses public involvement in UK health research. It notes that public involvement is a core principle of the National Institute for Health Research and has been shown to improve research quality. The NIHR provides funding to support public involvement through all stages of research from setting priorities to design and delivery. There has been growth in policies that support patient choice and participation in research. However, challenges remain in fully enabling patient choice in research and ensuring high quality experiences for all patients. The document advocates for continued collaborative efforts between the public, researchers, and others to further promote patient-centered research in the NHS.

- 12. ‘Every patient who walks through our hospital doors is offered the chance to take part in a clinical trial’ I was able to refer myself to a clinical trial unit They told myself and other patients what they found out in the trial before anyone else. It was easy for me to find out what’s going on locally I was able to discuss taking part in research with my doctor shortly after I was diagnosed I feel as though I was able to make a difference Patients can talk to other patients in our Trust to find out more about research My care and treatment was of a higher quality I joined the national register for research First I took part and now I help design trials. How good is that?
