A guide to making payment to members of the public actively involved in NHS, public health and social care research

INVOLVE has revised and up-dated guidance about paying members of the public when involved with research. It contains three sections:

• general principles in relation to making payments for involvement, for example, why we think this is best practice, issues that need to be considered and the need for researchers and organisations to set out their policies and procedures in detail and in advance
• more detailed information about specific issues, intending to help researchers think about what they need to know and do to set out their policies and procedures
• a series of appendices which provide a wide range of different sources of information, examples and useful templates.
