A recruitment flyer with the "Funded by NIHR" logo and University of East Anglia logo at the top. There is a headline in large bold black letters that reads "Disabled people are often excluded from clinical trials. Can you help us change this?" Underneath, in smaller navy text it reads "We need disabled people and their carers to help guide our research and give us feedback on the resources we create". "Disabled people and their carers" is highlighted in pink text. Underneath are two pink boxes; the first says "We're creating a course that gives researchers tools to improve the accessibility of their trials" and the second says "We will ask you to attend our online consultation meetings or give feedback via email". To the right is a large pink circle; in the centre in white text it reads "You will be paid Β£25 per hour for your time". In the bottom right, white text on a navy background reads "If you're interested or want more information email Rebecca: r.linnett@uea.ac.uk". To the left is the address for the website for the project, practicalsproject.wordpress.com
We're looking for disabled people (incl. people with mental health conditions & neurodivergent people) to be part of our advisory group for a project @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social aiming to improve clinical trial accessibility. Email me at r.linnett@uea.ac.uk if you'd like more info. Please share!
