Methods and Ethics Events
Workshops and presentations from the Research Support Service, Inspiring Ethics, or both.
Participatory Research Ethics Surgery: communicating lived experience roles in research
Why contracts often reproduce hierarchy rather than protect lived experienced collaborators. We look at co-researcher contracts, university assumptions of “vulnerability” around mental health and lived experience, IP clauses, liability, and when refusing a contract is the ethical choice.
Ethics, Collaborations & Research Impact Workshop
Universities increasingly emphasise research impact, yet the ethical dimensions of partnership work are often left underexplored. Working with communities, groups, organisations, and institutions brings not only opportunities, but also responsibilities that shape how relationships are built, maintained, and sustained. This interactive workshop offers a space to reflect on the ethical questions that arise in impact work.
Participatory Research Ethics Surgery: communicating lived experience roles in research
People with lived experience are increasingly involved in (mental health) research as advisors, co-researchers and authors. This session will explore how lived experience (LE) roles are defined and described in ethics applications and funding applications, including who is considered a participant, what LE members are expected to do, and what responsibilities people can hold within projects.
Using co-design in Health Services Research
Join the NIHR Research Support Service (RSS) Hub at King’s College London for a taster training session on Using co-design in Health Services Research. This group session will provide a space to consider co-design and its application in your research and grant applications.
Participatory Research Ethics Surgery
Are you feeling stuck or uncertain about how to handle ethical issues in your research? Are you grappling with ethical dilemmas, such as balancing power dynamics, navigating conflicting stakeholder interests, or ensuring genuine participation? The NIHR RSS KCL Hub, in partnership with Inspiring Ethics, is hosting Participatory Research Ethics Surgery Sessions to help you navigate and resolve ethical issues in your qualitative research.
Developing a post-data collection analysis plan
The NIHR Research Support Service delivered by King’s College London & Partners is hosting an online group session to help you navigate and resolve analysis issues in your qualitative research. Whether you need to develop an analysis plan ad hoc, or your initial qualitative analysis plan requires adjustment, our group session will get you back on track and help you to develop a post-data collection analysis plan.
