If you are a researcher and would like to involve members of the public in your work, please complete the form below. Each question includes a help icon (?) with tips to guide you in providing the most useful information.

What happens after I submit the form?  
 

Once your completed form is submitted, it will be reviewed by the Health and Care Research Wales Communications, Engagement and Involvement Team.
