Participatory research means actively including the people affected by research as partners. In healthcare this may include patients, members of the public, carers, and professionals delivering health and care services.

This interactive online session brings together researchers from the STANDING Together project and a few special guests for a free-flowing discussion delving into the intricacies of participatory practices in healthcare AI research. What works? What doesn’t? And when research budgets are tight and time is limited, why should this be a priority?

During this session our guests will tell you about their experiences of participatory research, including the challenges they’ve faced and how they overcame them.

Get ready to explore:

• Why participation needs to be a process, not a one off event

• How to navigate power dynamics and foster inclusivity

• How effective stakeholder participation can supercharge your work and help you drive meaningful impact
