COS uptake

Once a high-quality core outcome set has been developed it is vital that it is used to improve the quality of research and avoid future research waste. Public research partners (PRPs) have the potential to bring a powerful voice to the promotion of COS uptake.

Promoting COS uptake

When promoting COS uptake, PRPs can collaborate with the research team to consider:

  • How can patients’ voices help promote the use of the COS?
  • What key messages could be used by public research partners to encourage COS uptake?
  • Patient communities can help promote COS uptake – how could this happen?  Are there any existing links with patient organisations that could be used?
  • If barriers to COS uptake are anticipated or develop during the study, is there anything that the patient voice can do to address these challenges?
