Your Voice, Your Health, Our Shared Future
At CHART, we believe that the best healthcare research is done not just for the community but with the community.
This is why engaging patients, and the public and communities is crucial to our mission. Our Patients & Public page is dedicated to empowering you—members of the community—to play an active role in shaping the future of healthcare through research.
Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) - Why your participation matters.
Your experiences, insights, and feedback are invaluable to healthcare research. By participating in research projects, you help ensure that studies are relevant, effective, and truly beneficial to patient care and community health. Your involvement can lead to better healthcare services, treatments, and policies that reflect the needs and preferences of the community.
