COMMUNITY FEEDBACK EVENT - BUILDING TRUST IN MEDICAL RESEARCH WITH ETHNIC MINORITY COMMUNITIES
2025-11-17 12:00 - 16:00 (Europe/London) | North London Community House, 22 Moorefield Road, London, N17 6PY, United Kingdom
North London Community House, 22 Moorefield Road, London, N17 6PY
We are pleased to invite you to an upcoming dissemination event for a research project by University of Leicester around building trust in medical research with ethnic minority communities.
This event will focus on sharing key findings from the recent co-produced research, which explored mistrust, and reasons for not participating in medical research. The event will present on the co-produced solutions which developed collaboratively with different communities across England. This event will also provide an opportunity to share your thoughts on our work, and how we can move forward together in improving health inequalities through participation in medical research.
It will be an interactive session designed to network, reflect on what has been learned from partners in the research so far, and to shape future directions together.
Please RSVP to Sunny (sunny.rohit@leicester.ac.uk) or Shavez (skcj1@leicester.ac.uk)
