Event summary

Peer research is a participatory research method in which people with lived experience of the issues involved take part in directing and conducting the research.

Peer research enables practitioners and community members to become actively involved in research to directly affect the outcomes. They add an ‘authentic’ voice to research and foster closer collaborations between academics and those impacted by the research findings.

This in-person event explored what we can learn from current peer research practices in the North East and North Cumbria and how can we support more people to get involved in peer research.

This event was jointly delivered by Fuse, the Centre for Translational Research in Public Health and the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration (ARC) North East and North Cumbria (NENC).

Presentations from this event are now available on the Fuse website – follow this link
