We recently attended the launch of the Northern Ireland Partnership with the University of Oxford Centre for Research Equity (CfRE), in Parliament Buildings Belfast.
The partnership with Health and Social Care Research and Development Division, alongside key health and social care agencies, and supported by the Department of Health Northern Ireland, sees Northern Ireland become the first UK region to partner with the CfRE, bringing together patient and public advocates, healthcare professionals and academics.
This first-of-its-kind collaboration aims to improve health outcomes, reduce disparities, and ensure research benefits all communities through inclusive, community-driven approaches.
Our Chief Executive, Meadhbha Monaghan and Senior Policy, Impact and Influence Manger Peter Hutchinson attended the event and said: “We are delighted to share this exciting partnership and our participation in this work as it links to our broader ambitions of increasing public participation and addressing health inequalities. This collaboration will ensure that our research is inclusive and addresses the unique health needs of all populations in Northern Ireland.”
Professor Mahendra G Patel, Director of the Centre for Research Equity, University of Oxford said, “At the heart of this ground-breaking partnership between Oxford University and Northern Ireland is a dedication to involving patients, the public, underserved communities, as well as health and care organisations and stakeholders in setting research priorities. We want to ensure that research outcomes are applicable, safe and beneficial to all, and that starts with listening to and engaging with the very people we serve, including those who are often disproportionately affected by poorer health and health outcomes.”
