Join us every fortnight.  Dates below:

In the community consultation to develop what became Byres Community Hub, ‘advice for community organisations undertaking own research’ was one of key things that respondents wanted to see provided through the hub.  Participants in our coproduction workshop wanted to see the space used to facilitate research collaborations between academics and community organisations and the Hub was envisaged as a platform to ‘bring people together with similar interests’ and for ‘mutual skill sharing’.

A focus group participant said:

‘We’re all in these little silos of research in the community, whereas the community should be at the centre. And if it has that kind of ethos, where the community can have their say, they can influence, and are the power then I think that would be the unique selling point.’ 

So our Hub Mondays are also a means to facilitate networking between community, between university and between community and university.  They help realise the goals within our consultation and bring more skills, knowledge and experience in our research.  So if you have something you would like to talk through or make connections, we hope you can join us at one soon. 

 

Please find below a list of forthcoming topics for discussion at Hub Mondays:

On the 20th of May join us for an enlightening Hub Monday hosted by the University of Glasgow and Long Covid Scotland! Discover the exciting research being undertaken by the School of Health & Wellbeing's researchers at GPPC, in partnership with Long Covid Scotland focusing on the challenges faced by people living with Long Covid and the healthcare professionals caring for them. You will find out about research which aims to engage with a diverse range of people who are living with Long Covid and with GP practices, delving into the experiences and insights of both groups. You will also learn about the experience of living with Long Covid and working to improve the care of people with this new illness from Long Covid Scotland.
