At Royal Papworth Hospital, we are committed to fostering an inclusive research environment. We recognise the importance of engaging underrepresented groups as defined by the NIHR and ensuring that research is representative and accessible to all.
Incorporating Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) into research practices leads to more meaningful, representative, and impactful results that enhance health outcomes for all.
What Does Research Inclusivity Mean?
-
Equality: Ensuring everyone, regardless of background, can participate in and benefit from research by removing barriers.
-
Diversity: Representing a broad range of backgrounds, making findings more generalisable and relevant to real-world healthcare.
-
Inclusion: Creating a supportive environment where all participants feel valued, especially those from underserved groups, to shape research priorities and design.
