Welcome to the Thiscovery Community!

You are very welcome.  Our hope is that together, we can create a thriving and engaged community who ask and answer the important questions driving the change towards an improved health and care system.

Here, you will find people with lived experience of a variety of health and care topics, researchers and health and care professionals.  You are all equally as important as each other.  Over time, the community will develop into a vibrant community of research participants, listeners, learners and connectors.

Participate

Access our online engagement platform, Thiscovery.  Thiscovery enables large numbers of people to have meaningful involvement in improving services.   

Some of the groups are separate research projects.  You may need to fit within specific criteria to participate in them.  Don’t worry though, there will be plenty of opportunities to get involved.  Tell us your preferences so we can tailor any communication/invitations you get from us.

Listen and learn

There are a numbers of projects for you to participate in, as well as community groups.  You are the experts in health and care, and we want you to respectfully listen and learn from each other on a range of topics – some chosen by you, some chosen by those hosting the groups.

In return for your commitment, we’re committed to you.  We’ll listen to you and learn from your experiences in the community.  If there is something we can do to improve your experience, or build the community further, let us know!

Connect

Use this community to connect, to us, to each other.  What are you interested in?  Do you need some co-design support?  Do you need to reach a wider participant group?  Are you someone who could support and share helpful links, resources, news?  Find support from across the community, and don’t be afraid to reach out [email protected]
