Ken Tait, patient involved in the Hypo-Resolve project. 'I like to think that what we brought to the table was a different dimension to the research. What I found fantastic was that we were a really sought-after voice, rather than just using us for feedback. We need to be at the heart of research, at the co-design and co-creation of it.'

👋 It's day 2 of our #PatientsInResearch week & we're focusing on co-creation & integrating #PatientVoices into #HealthResearch to transform results. Ken Tait is contributing to diabetes complications research & says patients need to be at the ❤️ of research. #NothingForUsWithoutUs #PatientCentricity
