The PPI Ignite Network @ UL, and the UL Participatory Health Research Unit have recently opened registration for their Professional Diploma in Participatory Health Research. The diploma is intended for existing research or clinical professionals who are seeking the additional qualification (knowledge, competencies and skills) to employ participatory processes in their research.
Participatory Health Research (PHR) is defined as the co-creation of new knowledge by researchers working in equitable partnerships with those affected by the issue under study or those who will benefit from or ultimately act on its results.
This diploma is particularly relevant for those wishing to meaningfully involve patients, carers or other members of the public in their research. It is also relevant for professionals working in NGOs, as well as health service planners.
The course is applicable for a 50% fee reduction for the first 10 places to apply on a first come-first serve basis!
