Recognising the part you play


The Faculty of Medicine and the University Hospital Southampton NHS Trust set up the Public Contributor Recognition Scheme in 2021. The scheme is a way for us to personally recognise public contributors to our health research. It is a positive way for us to say thank you to those who give their time and share their personal experiences with us.

All public contributors and community leaders can be nominated to the scheme by the academics, students or medical professionals they have worked with.
