Are you feeling uncomfortable? Transform primary care research culture, abandon tokenism and embrace empowering methodologies
We live in an uncomfortable and unequal world. Professor Caroline Mitchell will share examples of research from UK primary care which chart a growing ‘Deep End’-inspired research movement to tackle health and research inequities through disruption of traditional research hierarchies and methods.
Expect challenge to the status quo, even discomfort. Many researchers may find kinship in a community of good practice and others may be empowered to shift the conversations within their own institutions to deliver research equity. 'Patients and the public rightly expect a change in how research is done - with and for them.
