Consumers in National Health Research Support Unit

Consumers in National Health Research Support Unit is an advisory group on consumer involvement in research and development in the NHS.

Roger Steel, Field Worker for the above department paid us a visit on 11th October to give a talk about his group and to explain what it was all about. Their work was very wide ranging and encompassed a huge variety of subjects.

Obviously the interest in research from point of view of the Pity II membership is rather specific and specialised. It had been suggested that Mr Steel's group could put on a seminar for parents/relatives in Liverpool but it would have to include the whole umbrella of subjects that the department cover and so may not work for PITY II.

However it was suggested that representatives of PITY II be invited to attend a meeting with the Consumers in NHS Research Team in the near future.

Mr Steel has since informed us that he has some ideas of how a seminar might work for us and will be putting some outline proposals to us within the next few weeks. We will keep you informed.

We have a limited number of leaflets, so if you would like a copy please contact the office.
