Socio-economic disadvantage inclusion training

We’re delighted to invite you to an informative session (online) on practical tools for socio-economic disadvantage inclusion in health research. This event is a fantastic opportunity to enhance your approach to including people and communities from diverse ethnicities in your research.

Speakers:

Dr Heidi Green is a Health Equity and Patient Involvement Specialist and a Creative Qualitative Researcher who co-developed the NIHR INCLUDE Socio-economic disadvantage framework, which has been designed to aid researchers, who are designing clinical trials, to consider barriers to including patients from socioeconomically disadvantaged backgrounds in their trial. The framework can also help researchers to develop strategies to attempt to address such barriers in order to improve the design and conduct of clinical research.

With over a decade of experience leading the design and delivery of innovative and award-winning projects, Heidi is an experienced health equity specialist, creative qualitative researcher, and lived experience advocate. Her mission is to embed accessibility and inclusivity into all of the projects she’s involved in, driving change for those that stand to benefit most.

A Cambridge Biomedical Research Centre researcher (TBC) will present on how they have included socially disadvantaged communities in their research.

There will be lots of opportunities for you to ask questions from experienced and knowledgeable speakers to support your research.

These sessions are for:

• Research staff affiliated with the following Biomedical Research Centres: Barts, Birmingham, Cambridge, Moorfields, Oxford and Oxford Health
