Patients and the public can help to design, deliver and disseminate ‘core outcome set’ studies (patient and public involvement). This brief video explains what involving patients in such studies might look like. It is designed for patients and the public who want to know more about being involved in core outcome set studies and/or can be used by researchers looking to involve patients as research partners in their work. The animation has been co-produced with patients. If used for research purposes, please cite as: Barrington HJ, Gorst SL, Horobin A, Morris C, Morris D, Smith M, Turner J, Williamson PR, Young B. Patient and public involvement in designing, delivering and disseminating core outcome set (COS) studies, what does it look like? – An animation. 2022. DOI: 10.17638/datacat.liverpool.ac.uk/1640.
