How can you involve patient advocates in research?
The key here is developing a collaborative and partnership model of effectively working together on a strategy for dissemination. Patient groups may be low on content for their website, so may be very keen to include new research data on their website. Patient experts and advocates may already be speaking at conferences and events and therefore will be motivated to share new research data in their presentation. Having a common communications strategy can help researchers and patient advocates identify which platforms or events to disseminate research, and to decide on formats on delivery of communications. Patient advocates are very well placed to review for plain language, to ensure the materials are translatable for the patient community.

How can you involve patient advocates in research?
I agree with John, representation is key. Patient advocates may not represent all patient voices, therefore, it is good practice to engage with independent patient experts as well as patient advocates, plus patient organisations and carers of course too. Co-creation of research questions, plain language translations, design of research delivery and operations and planning also hugely benefit from having representation, therefore the earlier the better for engagement activities for research.
