Research Champions:

A Research Champion is someone who promotes health research from a patient point of view. They could be a patient, service user, carer or lay person who is enthusiastic about health research and is willing to communicate that to other patients, the public, as well as other healthcare professionals.

Being a PRA can be a rewarding experience, especially if you have already been involved in a clinical trial yourself.

At Leicester’s Hospitals we would like to develop a flexible approach to PRAs, because each person we come into contact with has unique skills and experiences that can be shared in different ways.
