Members of the School of Health Sciences Maternal, Child and Public Health research group participated in a University of Nottingham Research Café, at the Nottingham Contemporary on 20-21 August 2015.
The event was led by members of the School of Psychology and included a range of activities for members of the public, including opportunities to participate in research studies about emotions and drinking and coping and wellbeing, as well as experience multisensory illusions in which the public could participate.
Members of the school group attended to to provide information about the Nottingham Maternity Research Network, (a public involvement group that informs our research) and to talk informally about current and planned studies.
There group had a chance to meet with lots of people who visited throughout the two days and enjoyed this great opportunity to talk their work with members of the public, who came from Nottingham and much further afield.
The event was featured in the Nottingham Post and the group will be following up with people who expressed an interest in the network and evaluating the impact of this initiative on the membership.
