Gut Reaction is recognised for excellence in health data
The Gut Reaction project has won an award for best practice and innovation in public involvement and engagement. The award was announced by Health Data Research UK at its annual conference in December.
Gut Reaction is a research project that brings together health data from thousands of people living with Crohn’s and Colitis across the UK so we can carry out research to improve the lives of people living with the conditions, faster.
With our support, Gut Reaction’s Patient Advisory
Committee was formed to make sure people living with IBD were involved in planning and decision-making.
The Patient Advisory Committee has made a huge impact on the Gut Reaction hub – in particular, influencing the processes for using the health data collected during the project and beyond. They also developed training materials to support patient and public involvement in health data research.
The judging panel from Health Data Research UK felt that the training materials will continue to be an exceptional resource and a contribution to public involvement and engagement that will remain valuable well into the future.
