Join the ‘Contraception Project’ Team, part of the NIHR UCL Policy Research Unit in Reproductive Health
Background information
The Contraception Project is part of the work of the new National Institute of Health & Care Research (NIHR) Policy Research Unit in Reproductive Health.
About the role
The Contraception Project team are looking for 4 people with lived experience in relation to reproductive health and contraception to join our team and co-produce the project. You will work alongside Reproductive Health Policy Research Unit team members and other lived experience team members across the full duration of the project, as well as our Stakeholder Group (a selection of lived and learnt experience members advising on the project). We hope to recruit:
- Two members who have or have had experience of using (or deciding not to use) contraception primarily to prevent pregnancy
- Two members who have or have had experience using (or not deciding not to use) contraception or hormonal treatment to manage gynaecological symptoms, such as heavy menstrual bleeding.
Within the group we hope to include a variety of attitudes towards hormonal and non-hormonal contraceptive methods regarding preferences, priorities, and values. Ideally, we hope to recruit individuals that are passionate about understanding how attitudes and experiences can influence decision-making about contraception. Additionally, we are particularly interested in how contraceptive attitudes form and how decisions are made among young people and hope to bring in their experiences in the team members we recruit.
Responsibilities include:
- Being part of the team developing the project work and analysing findings.
- Sharing your knowledge and experience to help shape the direction of the project.
- Attending monthly meetings with the Unit to hear regular project updates, help interpret findings as progress is made, and guide priorities for future decisions.
- Attending quarterly Stakeholder Group meetings to bring lived experience and experience of the project to our wider stakeholder discussions.
- When and where appropriate opportunities arise, be involved in the research itself.
