Webinar: How to write a plain English summary

An integral part of research that is funded by NIHR is to ensure that patients, carers, service users and the public have the opportunity to shape and influence the relevance, quality and impact of our health and care research.

A plain English summary is a clear, brief summary of the research, written for members of the public rather than researchers or professionals. This webinar will be relevant to you if you are an NIHR-funded researcher or a researcher applying for an NIHR career development award.

The webinar will cover:

➡️ NIHR’s Strategic Commitments for Public Partnerships

➡️ explanation of plain English summaries and their importance

➡️ how to write one and what to include

➡️ what support is available through the Research Support Service (RSS)

➡️ signposting to useful resources.

By attending this webinar, you will discover:

➡️ an in-depth understanding of plain English summaries and how to write an effective one

➡️ insights from a public contributor that you can apply to your research application.

The 60-minute webinar will be facilitated by Linda Onerhime-Prince, Senior NIHR PPI Manager and Dr Jo Lally, Strategic Lead for Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, NIHR RSS.
