Patient collaboration in COVID-19 research: translating ideas to reality
Involving patients in all stages of health data research is a noble aim; however, there are not too many examples of it being successfully put into practice—particularly not in real-time pandemic surveillance. In November, 2020, the Early Pandemic Evaluation and Enhanced Surveillance of COVID-19 (EAVE II) team created a unique collaboration, inviting a Public Advisory Group (PAG) of 15 patient and public contributors to work alongside university and Public Health Scotland staff to provide vital perspectives of the public on all areas of their COVID-19 research.
