Understanding Patient & Public Involvement in Obesity Research, 21st November (Online)

Understanding Patient & Public Involvement in Obesity Research featuring Mr Ken Clare & Professor Louisa Ells

The EASO Early Career Network (ECN) invites all ECN members to attend the final eLearning Hub online event of 2023 on Tuesday 21 November 4-5pm UK  / 5-6pm Paris.

Join us for this important online session featuring Mr Ken Clare and Professor Louisa Ells (UK). Mr Ken Clare is the Chair of the Board of Directors for the European Coalition for People Living with Obesity (ECPO) and is also the PPI Lead at the Leeds Beckett University Obesity Institute. Professor Louisa Ells is a Co-Director of the Obesity Institute and is a special advisor to Public Health England (PHE). During this one-hour session, these expert speakers will define the concept of PPI in obesity research and explore how PPI enhances study design, relevance, and outcomes. Audience members will gain insights into practical strategies and methods for incorporating PPI into obesity research. Tips and suggestions for fostering meaningful collaboration and real-world examples of successful PPI in obesity will be discussed.

The EASO ECN Board will host this event and answer questions about the ECN. If you are an early career student or professional interested in obesity, but are not already an ECN member, you are encouraged to sign up here before registering for this session.

We look forward to greeting some of you in Antalya, Türkiye later this month for the ECN Winter School!
