JLA approach to priority setting for prostate cancer research

The James Lind Alliance approach to priority setting for prostate cancer research: an integrative methodology based on patient and clinician participation

Lophatananon A,Tyndale-Biscoe S, Malcolm E, Rippon H,  Holmes K, Firkins L, Fenton M, Crowe S , Stewart-Brown S,  Gnanapragasam V and Muir K.

Public Involvement

This section covers a range of resources and publications relating to public involvement in research.

You will find information about the BMJ Wiley Patient and Public Involvement toolkit, co written with Julia Cartwright, as well as a range of papers.  Also in this section are resources that have been developed with members of the public and research professionals over the years to help people involved with developing clinical research assess research proposals or develop their critical thinking skills.
