Where do patients fit in research?
How to brilliantly take over from Dr Seema Dadhania’s blog post when I am definitely not someone to keep diaries (like Anne Frank or Carrie Brashaw)?
Some suggest writing about yourself; others, on your research. Well, that is a shame because there is nothing sufficiently interesting about me to make it public, and my research is scattered over so many projects and obligations that they would be difficult to summarise in 900 words. Then, the idea came to me after a patient and public involvement meeting organised and chaired by the talented Miss Lillie Pakzad-Shahabi: how do patients have an influence on my work? do I work for clinical staff or patients in the National Health Service (NHS)?
