Members of the LinCTU attended the LCHS Research Conference at the Showroom in Lincoln (13th of September 2023). This was a great opportunity to promote LinCTU and network with a variety of people from different areas around Lincolnshire.
The overarching theme was “Putting patients at the heart of research” and conference presentations included a range of topics, including how research works in General Practice, the importance of PPI and how lives can be changed by clinical trials (POACHER study). It was great to listen to speakers who included PPI advocates, NHS clinicians, researchers and research facilitators from both NIHR and local NHS organisations.
Overall, it was a very interesting conference and a great chance to speak to people about what LinCTU can offer to support future research projects.
