Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery Research Patient Panel
The Cardiovascular Research Patient Panel is based within the Academic Directorate of Cardiology and Cardiothoracic Surgery and is made up of patients, relatives, carers and members of the public.
Our aims
The Panel meets regularly to review research proposals from Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust and the University of Sheffield, with the aim of ensuring that studies are feasible and the protocols are suitable and manageable for patients.
We are currently looking for more people to get involved with us! Please contact us at the email below if you wish to join.
More information can be requested from Helen Denney (Panel Coordinator) and Amber Ford (Panel Administrator) at h.denney@nhs.net and amber.ford3@nhs.net

Working with the panel is both interesting and informative for members, keeping us abreast of new and innovative work being done by researchers. The views and opinions of the panel are always well regarded by the researchers making presentations and we do often influence the way in which patients and volunteers are informed, selected and managed by the project teams. |
