13. What is the VOICE study?What is the VOICE study?
In clinical research, advisory groups often provide membership for
both patients and members of the public in order to form a group
of people interested in getting involved in the research process.
There is a lack of information on the development of such groups
and the input of patients and the public in their creation.
The voices of patients at conferences and events often suggest that
people feel their involvement is merely to tick a box or they have
been unclear of their role in the research process.
This study involves talking to you today to see if we can develop a
âgold-standardâ by which other researchers may follow in the
development and creation of their own advisory groups.

15. What we hope to achieveWhat we hope to achieve
We want to set up a group where people can join and
be given opportunities to get involved in the research
process.
But, we want to make sure that the people who join
the group get the most out of it.
To do that weâd like you to tell us what you would
want and expect if you were to join such a group.
16. What weâd like you to doWhat weâd like you to do
As a group we want to discuss some
questions that we have.
There are no right or wrong answers.
17. Our questionsOur questions
Before we told you about PPI, did you know what it was and that
such opportunities exist?
In which areas of the research process as a cough patient do you
think you might choose to get involved in?
If you were to get involved what would you want your involvement
to achieve?
What support and/or training do you think you would need in each
area of the research process if you were to get involved?
Where would you expect to find out about the group once it had
been set up?
18. Thank youThank you
Thank you for getting involved today
We will arrange for a cheque to be sent to you in the post covering
payment for your time and, in addition, your travel expenses.
Do not purchase a parking ticket from the machine on your way out,
simply press the buzzer on the barrier and tell the security officer you
have taken part in the VOICE study today.
We will tell you about the results of this study and the development of
VOICE in our âChronic Cough: in focusâ newsletter
