Are you interested in ageing well? Let's Talk Research!

Patients and the public can learn about the importance of ageing research and how they can contribute with the launch of our new Let’s Talk Research online booklet.

View the Let’s Talk Research booklet here.

Developed with input from residents of Pilgrims Court in Jesmond and with contributions from previous study participants and an advisory group member, the booklet aims to spark interest and generate conversations about ageing research. We would like to thank the residents for their time and enthusiasm, previous study participant Mary, and advisory group member Ray for sharing their experiences.  

The Let’s Talk Research project, led by Dr Christopher Hurst was funded by a Tilly Hale award through Newcastle University, which provides seed funding to support projects that strengthen public and patient involvement in research.

A Let’s Talk Research poster and postcard have also been developed for use in clinical settings, to generate conversations about ageing research and ensure that people of all ages and backgrounds are given the opportunity to contribute to our research and help make sure it’s relevant, useful, and beneficial to everyone.
