INVOLVE conference
« Go backINVOLVE holds a national conference every other year to bring together people with a common interest in public involvement in NHS, public health and social care research. This includes members of the public, service users, researchers, research commissioners and representatives of voluntary sector organisations. The aim of the INVOLVE conference is to encourage the sharing of knowledge and learning.
The INVOLVE 2012 conference will be held at the East Midlands Conference Centre in Nottingham on Tuesday 13th and Wednesday 14th November 2012. We will advertise for conference presentations in January 2012.
You can search our database for abstracts and presentations from our conferences held in 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2010.
There are three filter options for searching the presentations. However unless you know exactly what you are looking for it might be easiest to search under the individual categories rather than across all three filter options. Presentations that have a powerpoint available will have a download button.
If you would like to browse choose the year that you are interested in and keep the other search filters blank.
If you are interested in a particular author then filter by author only.
The filter by type option allows you to further define your search to identify if the presentations were workshops, talks or posters sessions.
