Event Theme

Co-create to translate: achieving impact through collaboration

Our theme emphasises the importance of co-creation and collaboration in designing and delivering world-class research that truly matters and is accessible to all patients. We will highlight the integration of BRCs and CRFs, strengthening existing partnerships and facilitating new experimental medicine collaborations and clinical studies.

We will showcase diverse perspectives from researchers, research delivery staff, and members of the public and patient groups, offering topics that are relevant and interesting to all. The conference will inspire innovative thinking and facilitate new avenues in research co-creation.
