Medway NHS Foundation Trust’s Post

People living in Medway and Swale are being encouraged to sign up and become Research Friends of Medway NHS Foundation Trust. Laura Adams, Patient and Public Engagement and Involvement (PPIE) facilitator for Research and Innovation, said: “Evidence shows that research active trusts, like Medway NHS Foundation Trust, deliver a higher quality of care to their patients. That’s because through research we can offer treatments that otherwise would not be available and ensure we are offering the most up-to-date treatments to patients. “We want to place research at the heart of everything we do. Without research we would be blind within healthcare as we wouldn’t know how to treat new diseases and viruses or the long term effects on people, but importantly we cannot carry out research without patient involvement." “By launching Research Friends we hope it will spark an interest in people living in Medway and Swale to find out more and get involved with research at the Trust in as many ways as possible - whether that is taking part in a study, sharing results with friends and family, guiding study design or influencing the future of research at Medway.” Find out how to sign up: https://lnkd.in/ehkVxWwh #bestofcare #bestofpeople #Medway #Swale #research Medway NHSFT Research and Innovation Team
