Manchester, a city renowned for its rich industrial heritage, is now making a name for itself as a hub of cutting-edge research and innovation. Home to prestigious universities, world-class research institutions, and a thriving tech ecosystem, Manchester is at the forefront of scientific discovery, technological advancements, and industry transformation.
In the dynamic world of research and innovation, service user researchers play a pivotal role in ensuring that the end-users’ perspectives and needs are at the forefront of development processes. They bridge the gap between researchers and the individuals who will directly benefit from the services or products being developed. In this interview, we had the pleasure of speaking with a passionate and experienced service user researcher, John Smith, who shared invaluable insights into the significance of their work and how it influences positive change.
