Research with children: how to rehabilitate the misconception of the ”mad scientist”

Welcome to the new ADC Spotlight podcast! We'll be covering areas that don’t usually get much attention or might be taken for granted with the goal of promoting dialogue. In this first podcast, Rachel Agbeko, Associate Editor of Archives of Disease in Childhood, is joined by Jennifer Preston, Senior Patient and Public Involvement Manager at the University of Liverpool, Hugh Davies, Paediatrician and Research Ethics Advisor at the Health Research Authority and Bob Phillips, Paediatric Oncologist and Social Media and Archimedes Editor for ADC. They are the authors of four papers about research with children, which are part of a series being published between April and July 2019 by ADC (https://adc.bmj.com/): - In the April issue the Leading article ’Research beyond the hospital walls’ and the review ‘Making research central to good paediatric practice’. - In May the review ‘How to involve children and young people (CYP) in what is, after all, their research’. - In June the review ‘A framework to help design and review research involving children’.

- In July the review ‘How to navigate the ethical review of research’.
