Remit of the group
We at Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust have a vision to enable every patient with the opportunity to be involved in research. We have a network of people with lived experience of both mental and physical health conditions and members of the public who are interested in research. They receive a bimonthly newsletter and interim mailings, in which we promote opportunities to get involved in research at Southern Health as well as other opportunities that may be of interest to our readership. The list is held in a secure spreadsheet and is only used for these purposes. People can be removed from the list at any time they wish.
Frequency of meetings
Every two to three months

More about the group (optional)
The PINR Community meet to help with studies. There is a regular newsletter. The meetings have a diversity of people with an interest in a range of conditions which makes for an interesting and thought-provoking group. Training related to research is offered at these meetings as some people may wish to expand their knowledge of research. However, no research experience is required. All welcome.
