TRExt

A computer showing notes illustration Public Involvement Opportunity - TRExt

This opportunity is for people who are...

  • Aged 18 years or over;
  • Interested in public involvement and engagement specifically with lived experience in the uses of information gathered from personal records.
  • Living in the UK.

TRExt is a system to help computers understand messy text (like doctor’s notes) safely, so researchers can learn from it without risking privacy.

In this study (a collaboration between University of Nottingham, Swansea University, Kings College London and Hyper Unison), we aim to collect the views and experiences of members of the public on the software and AI we are using in the TRExt project, so we can address any concerns and improve the automatic processing of sensitive information.

This study is a collaboration between University of Nottingham, Swansea University, Kings College London and Hyper Unison.

What is the opportunity?

We’re putting people at the heart of the TRExt project. Our goal is to work with the public, researchers, clinicians, and technical experts to create tools that are useful, safe, and trustworthy. By joining our PIE workshop, you’ll play a vital role in shaping the project—helping guide decisions, identify potential risks, and ensure the benefits are clear and meaningful. Your input will influence how we accelerate research while protecting privacy and using AI responsibly. This is your chance to make a real impact on the future of health data research and ensure it reflects the needs and values of the people it serves.

When and where

You will be expected to attend up to three online meetings before the end of April, where you’ll discuss, comment, and give feedback on the project presented by the TRExt research team. Meetings will take place once a month between 10:00 am and 12:00 pm, including a comfort break.

The first meeting is scheduled for 30th January, with further dates in February and March arranged based on the group’s joint availability.

All workshops will be conducted in English; it is essential you are able to understand and give feedback verbally or written in English.

Renumeration

£25 per hour for your time and contribution for each meeting attended.
