HIV Co-Production Showcase: Sharing learnings from a participatory research project (Part 2)

5 August 2022

This entry is part 2 of 2 in the series HIV Co-Production

On Wednesday 6 July 2022, 25 stakeholders met at Lift, Islington (a community venue) to reflect, create and share ideas together as a group about co-producing HIV research using the example of a recent participatory project exploring the impact of COVID-19 on people living with HIV in the UK

The showcase event was co-designed to be interactive and participatory in nature (after all, we wanted to showcase how valuable these approaches can be to research!). You can find out more about how we co-designed the day in our previous blog.

This entry is part 1 of 2 in the series HIV Co-Production

Over the last 18 months we have been working in partnership as a group of researchers and people living with HIV (two peer researchers and three advisory group members to undertake a co-produced peer research qualitative study exploring the experiences of COVID-19 among people living with HIV. This work is a collaboration between the Patient Experience Research Centre at Imperial College London and Positively UK.

As part of this participatory study, co-researchers undertook training on research ethics, the fundamental aspects of qualitative research, how to conduct and analyse interviews online and emotional wellbeing/safeguarding while undertaking research.
