Improving inclusion in health and care research: reflections and next steps

Improving inclusion in health and care research: reflections and next steps In autumn 2021 HSR UK, the Nuffield Trust, the King’s Fund, the Health Foundation and PPI representatives from the Health Foundation Inclusion Panel co-developed a series of events to address improving inclusion in health and care research. These events aimed to showcase people, projects and organisations approaching research in inclusive and innovative ways. The events were also used to scrutinise the deeply embedded barriers to inclusion and consider how they might be tackled, at the research project, system and funding level. This report shares insights from the expert speakers who participated in events, as well as reflections and learnings from running the series.
