Images shows pieces of white fabric with handwriting and pictures on it, hanging from string in a tree on a sunny day. This is research question bunting. The writing cannot be easily read in this image because the bunting was blowing in the wind but the bunting represents questions about health that people would like there to be research on. Popular themes included women's health, diet and mental health.
A white gazebo under a tree, with two people in front. Hanging from the gazebo are three pictures with holes cut out for faces so people can take photos with them to 'picture yourself as an epidemiologist'. One picture shows a doctor weighing a baby, another shows a someone analysing health data on a laptop, while the third shows someone standing at a podium briefing policy makers.
Poster with text saying: Could you help us improve health research? At University of Bristol, we look at patterns in health data across large populations. These patterns can help us uncover what might make people more at risk of health issues such as cancer, poor mental health, heart disease, diabetes and pregnancy problems. But we need people like you to help us! Involving patients and members of the public is an important part of health research. Members of the public provide important feedback on research plans. They help keep research relevant to what worries you. They also help us to communicate research findings in a way that the public can understand.
