Episode notes

The global pandemic has had a huge influence on how we work. This episode, with guests from multiple NIHR funded projects, explores how the COVID-19 pandemic affected community engagement and involvement (CEI) activities, as well as how CEI and research was adapted to cater to local restrictions and changing context. The guest speakers describe how CEI is embedded in their research, how it has benefitted their projects and the CEI work they are most proud of. In addition to this, the guests also share the  challenges they faced within CEI due to COVID-19,  how these were addressed and their experiences with online CEI.
