The Liver Research Advisory Group brings together people who are motivated to improve research for and with patients living with steatotic liver disease. The group meets every 2–3 months and always includes contributions and presentations from researchers, physicians, and nurses from FLASH – Centre for Liver Research.
The Advisory Group is an important part of FLASH because it ensures that our research is grounded in the experiences and priorities of the people it concerns. The group gives patients, relatives, and former study participants an opportunity to share their experiences, needs, and concerns, helping to make our research more relevant, understandable, and meaningful.
By involving the group early in the research process, we can improve how we provide information about projects, how studies are conducted, and how results are communicated. This strengthens research quality and supports trust between researchers and participants.
The group also helps us become more attentive to everyday life, vulnerability, and potential barriers to participation—factors that are not always visible from a professional perspective alone. In this way, the Advisory Group helps FLASH develop research that is not only scientifically robust, but also respectful, ethical, and relevant to those it is ultimately intended to benefit.
If you would like to become part of the group, you are very welcome to contact the FLASH Research Partner.
