Summary of report content

In collaboration with Health Innovation East (HIE) and the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), Healthwatch Milton Keynes (HWMK) organised a Diabetes Information and Research event. The aim was to encourage a wider group of people to participate in research. 21 people attended.

In summary, the event successfully achieved all of its objectives. It facilitated the mapping of diabetes research and revealed gaps in research activity in the area, which is now being rectified. Additionally, it showed that creating Diabetes Research Champions is achievable. By connecting the project to a clinical area with a significant prevalence, it resonated well with local communities. The event also pinpointed obstacles to research participation within targeted communities and promoted health and care research opportunities to underserved groups in Milton Keynes.
