Talk research
Would you like to have a say in the way that we communicate research?
The Muscular Dystrophy Campaign research team aims to keep families up to-date with the latest research advances by providing a comprehensive information service on our website as well as in our charity publications Target MD and Target Research.
In order to make this service as effective as possible we want to harness the experience and skills of our supporters, to ensure that we provide the information that people are looking for, written in a way that they can understand.
During the past few months we have established a committee of supporters who are keen to have a say in how we communicate research. The first meeting took place in October 2008 at the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign head office. During a three-hour session, examples of our recent research articles were scrutinised and the feedback obtained was invaluable. We now regularly liaise with members of the circle to seek their input. In the coming year we want to extend this group so that we have representatives for most of the conditions that we cover.
If you are interested in becoming involved in research communication either by attending meetings or by correspondence, please get in touch with the research team:
