CLAPA Voices: Opportunities
Latest Cleft Opportunities
Getting involved in research is an investment in the future of healthcare. Current treatments only exist because people like you have supported research in the past, and what you do today can help pave the way for even better treatment to be available to others in the future. Many people who take part in or give feedback on studies say it helps give them a sense of control over whatever treatment they or their child are going through and makes them feel more connected to a community of people affected by a condition.
From developing new services and shaping our messaging to collaborating with researchers, we want the cleft community to be involved every step of the way. Thank you for adding your voice!
We want to make our community as inclusive as possible. Our groups are currently underrepresented by people from ethnic minorities, men, people of colour, and people who follow religions other than Christianity. If you represent any of these groups, we strongly encourage you to get involved so that your voice is heard.
Here are the current open opportunities with CLAPA Voices. If you have any questions or feedback, please contact Gillian, our External Engagement Coordinator, at [email protected].
