Planning a trial

What’s this about?

We’re getting ready to run a trial to test the Better Conversations with Parkinson’s therapy. We want to make sure it’s planned in the right way and includes a wide range of people.

What will we do together?

• Help write the plan for the trial

• Design information leaflets to invite people to take part

• Come up with ideas to make sure we include people with different experiences, including those with advanced Parkinson’s, Parkinson’s with dementia, and Parkinson’s-like conditions

What can you add?

• Share your views on what’s fair and respectful when inviting people to join research

• Help us make sure the trial is inclusive and well planned

What will it look like?

• Around 4–6 meetings (1.5 hours each) in early to mid-2026

• Some decisions will be guided by research rules (ethics), but you’ll still have lots of chances to shape how things are done
