Do you want to help decide priorities for health research? –12th November deadline
 
We all expect our healthcare to be safe, but sometimes mistakes can happen that may put patients at unnecessary risk.

This topic is under investigation by NIHR Imperial Patient Safety Translational Research Centre & James Lind Alliance. Their survey asks you to rank the "questions" for research to make care safer for adults with complex health needs. It’s open to health care professionals, patients, carers and the public and closes on Monday, so hurry.
