Unit II: Thought question 1

In the context of a patient and public involvement in a clinical trial, it seems there may be tensions between lay and medical constructs of illness/healthcare and lay and technical knowledge of the research process. How might these tensions affect a trial steering committee and how can the tensions be managed? Does patient expertise challenge professional expertise? Is this helpful or unhelpful?

We look forward to your thoughts!
