Sign up for RHITE
RHITE is the Register for Healthcare Involvement and Technology Evaluation.
Our aim is to make sure the right research is done to help patients and the public in the way they need it most. That means we need to hear from you!
By signing up for RHITE, you will receive information about relevant upcoming outreach sessions, research opportunities, workshops and surveys. These are run with clinical researchers and innovators who want to hear about your experience to help guide their research.
This register is delivered with a Cambridge University partner, ORION (the Outcome Registry Intervention and Operation Network).
How can I be part of research?
You can see all of our past research events in our News and Events page.
There are three main ways you can be part of research.

- commenting and developing patient information leaflets or other research materials
- undertaking interviews with research participants
- user and/or carer researchers carrying out the research
Engagement
Where information and knowledge about research is provided and disseminated.
Examples of engagement are:
- science festivals open to the public with debates and discussions on research
- open day at a research centre where members of the public are invited to find out about research
- raising awareness of research through media such as television programmes, newspapers and social media
- dissemination to research participants, colleagues or members of the public on the findings of a study
Participation
Where people take part in a research study.
Examples of participation are:
- people being recruited to a clinical trial or other research study to take part in the research
- completing a questionnaire or participating in a focus group as part of a research study.
