Getting involved in palliative care research

Join us in our research

 

“Participation means shaping things together: researchers provide the framework, while the picture is created collectively by everyone who contributes their perspectives, experiences, and ideas on an equal footing.”

  • Contribute your valuable perspectives and experiences as a patient, a relative or carer, and an interested member of the public to palliative care research.
  • Help ensure that research is more closely aligned with the needs of those affected.
  • Provide input on topics that you consider important.
  • Help make research accessible and relevant to everyday life.
  • Gain insights into research and work alongside researchers on specific questions.
  • You will provide feedback on the clarity of materials from the research project.
  • You will take part in trial interviews and reflect on the conduct of the interviews together with us.
  • You will contribute to the discussion and interpretation of interview results.
  • You will share your personal and, where relevant, professional experiences and perspectives.

 

Important:

  • Your involvement will depend on your interests, availability and the current stage of the research projects.
  • No prior knowledge of research is required.

 

Group meetings:

  • Approximately every 8 weeks, either in person at the department in Neusäß or in a hybrid format (participation in person or online is possible)
  • We would be delighted if you could attend regularly – as far as your personal circumstances allow!
We’d be delighted to hear from you if you have any questions about our participation group or are interested in taking part!  Please feel free to contact Corinna Auer (corinna.auer@med.uni-augsburg,de, Tel.: +49 821 400 168370) or Sophie Meesters (Sophie.Meesters@uk-augsburg.de, Tel.: +49 821 400 168546).
