The Northern Ireland Cerebral Palsy Register (NICPR) has been selected as one of ten ‘test beds’ for the National Institute of Health Research (NIHR) ‘Standards for Public Involvement’ research. The NIHR have been developing standards and indicators for public involvement in research over the past 18 months. The standards aim to improve the quality and consistency of public involvement in research. We will work with the NIHR from April 2018 to April 2019 to put the standards to practical use in our working environment and share what we learn. 

For more information on the Standards for Public Involvement Project you can read the NIHR Press Release and visit the Project's website. Please do not hesitate to contact us for more information.
