I became aware of Research through my own experience with Covid in March 2020 after a long spell in ICU and participating in around 4 different trials. I became a research champion, undertook projects with and for NIHR, PPIE, CRNCC - I have been involved in many studies and am a big advocate of research and the benefits it can bring, I am still actively working on research utilising wearable tech for people recovering from spending time in ICU.
