You see the gaps, the barriers, and the unintended harm – often long before it shows up in data or policy.This forum brings together community leaders from across Greater Manchester with the team from the NIHR Greater Manchester Patient Safety Research Collaboration (GM PSRC) to explore how we can work differently and more effectively together to create real-world impact.The focus of the session is twofold:To understand how VCFSE organisations and NIHR GM PSRC can work together in ways that are genuinely useful, respectful and impactful for communitiesTo collaboratively map practical routes to impact – from community insight to action, influence and changeThis is not a presentation-heavy event.
