We want to actively involve lay people in the project as it is good practice. The lay representatives currently engaged with the project have been recruited from the Oxford AHSN PPIEE programme and clinical/Royal Osteoporosis Society links.
Initial discussions were held with each lay representative regarding the project, following which a stakeholder meeting was held (29th June 2020). During this meeting the rationale for the project and the project plan was discussed in detail. However, the meeting was predominantly a discussion with the stakeholders to seek initial views on the project and gave the opportunity to understand more about the lay representatives' experiences in managing osteoporosis. This in turn helped shape the next steps for the project. Agreement was sought on continued engagement of the lay representatives in the project.
