NHRP Lightning Talk – Improving how we involve local communities and VCSE in health research

What is a Lightning Talk?

NHRP Lightning Talks are short, focused sessions are designed to stimulate debate, questions, and curiosity among NHIP stakeholders, while also raising awareness of the incredible work taking place across NHIP organisations for the benefit of patients and the wider population.

Each Lightning Talk is a 30-minute virtual event, featuring a 20-minute presentation followed by 10 minutes of rapid discussion and Q&A.
