Title: Comensus service user and carer involvement group, University of Central Lancashire

Abstract: Comensus service users and carers have been an integral part of professional health and social care education and development at the University of Central Lancashire for 20 years (Garner et al., 2022; Gordon et al., 2020; Mckeown et al., 2011). Throughout this period, they have also been invited to be part of research opportunities, with colleagues internal to the University and with external partners from practice and academia. A panel of service users and carers have agreed to share their experiences of being involved in qualitative research, both as research participants and more recently, as participant researchers themselves.
They will provide a short presentation introducing themselves and their involvement in research activity to date, followed by a Q&A to explore their individual perspectives of being researched, or involved in conducting research.
