Community Research in Oxfordshire – an overview

During July and August 2023, Healthwatch Oxfordshire reached local networks to gain an insight into views about community research, and to attempt to map some of the work that had already been carried out. We wanted to hear local community voices and views about community research.

We undertook in-depth interviews with community members (10), and organisational representatives drawn from statutory health and care, local authority, academic as well as voluntary sector organisations (11). This report brings together their views and insights to contribute to shaping and development of a community research approach for the county.
