The magazine aims to help patients understand more about health and social care research, what is involved in taking part, and when and how they might be able to get involved, either as a participant or in other engagement opportunities.
It celebrates the commitment of both staff and research participants throughout the pandemic, and highlights some of the possible benefits of volunteering for a study.

Lift Someone Out Of Loneliness
Fancy a cuppa? Fancy a walk? Sometimes reaching out to each other with as little as three words can make a big difference.
Feeling lonely is something that all of us can experience at any point and it can have a huge impact on our wellbeing. It’s important to remember that these feelings can pass and that there are lots of ways we can help each other too.
As part of the Better Health: Every Mind Matters campaign, the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport are encouraging people to ‘Lift Someone Out of Loneliness’ by taking a simple action to help someone who may be feeling lonely. If we do this regularly, we can all help to lift each other up.
