Communications Resources and Guidance
Effective communications can play a huge part in helping you achieve your core study or programme objectives, and raising awareness to your target audiences.
Please find below a variety of resources, guides and materials to support you to communicate effectively about your trial, project or research unit. This includes support with online and traditional (posters, leaflets etc.) communications channels.
Developing a Communications Plan
Having a communications plan in place can support you to reach your target audiences, and achieve your desired outcomes at each stage, be it recruitment, engagement or dissemination of findings.
It will help you to think strategically about your aims, objectives and target audiences - who they are, their motivations, how we can communicate with them, and what channels will be best to reach them - so you engage with them effectively to drive outcomes.
We would strongly encourage you to write a communications plan at the very start, so all key milestones and goals can be considered. However, this should be a living document, and evolve as your study does.
