Scotland's Patient and Public Involvement Network asks for help shaping new guidance

Housing conditions are integral to residents' health, and especially with the implementation of Awaab's Law, it is crucial that housing providers are fully aware of the effects of damp and mould on long-term health.

The Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) develops evidence-based guidelines to improve care across the country. It recognises that research evidence tells only part of the story, and that the experiences of people who live with a condition, receive treatment or care for a loved one are just as important. SIGN is currently reviewing its guidelines on severe asthma and would like to hear from people who can bring that perspective.

The Patient and Public Involvement Network brings together people from a wide range of backgrounds who want to help improve healthcare, and would welcome the contribution of Housing LIN members. Depending on the project, members may be invited to review information, join discussions or patient panels, or contribute to guideline development work.

No previous experience is needed, and participation is flexible. Visit the SIGN website (opens new window) to find out more and register your interest.
