Recognising the part you play
The Faculty of Medicine and the University Hospital Southampton NHS Trust set up the Public Contributor Recognition Scheme in 2021. The scheme is a way for us to personally recognise public contributors to our health research. It is a positive way for us to say thank you to those who give their time and share their personal experiences with us.
All public contributors and community leaders can be nominated to the scheme by the academics, students or medical professionals they have worked with.

Finding Out Together started with Family Hub Pickles (formerly known as Sure Start) in the west locality of Southampton in 2019. We build new partnerships, work with community leaders to create welcoming and safe spaces for learning about research.
Our Southampton Clinical Trials Unit works to understand barriers stopping people from under-served groups from joining clinical trials. We look for ways to overcome these barriers.
Explore behind the research
The Engaged Medicine ‘Inspiring Stories’ blog explores the stories behind outreach and patient-public engagement activities of staff and students from the Faculty of Medicine.
We talk to patients, members of the public and researchers who are working together to tackle some big health and social care problems. The Collaboratively speaking with UoS podcast explores what brought them together, what kept them talking and the tricks they’ve found to make this work fly.
