What could you get out of being involved with health and care research? Read what Melissa said about this below. #ResearchAppreciationDay
I wish people knew... You can make a genuine, tangible difference by working alongside clinicians and researchers to keep reminding them of how important it is that research is shaped by the people it ultimately serves. You also develop your own skills, such as communication, perseverance, and respectful challenge. Melissa Public contributor

After a decade of losing his taste and smell to chronic rhinosinusitis, 74-year-old Alan was despondent. Steroids failed, and a severe hospital phobia meant surgery was out of the question. Then he took part in a trial of a new injection-based drug. Now, he has regained his senses and he can finally smell the honey he produces as a beekeeper! 🐝 Read Alan’s full story and find out how you can #BePartOfResearch at bepartofresearch.nihr.ac.uk/…
