What is a Citizens’ Jury?

Being part of a Citizens’ Jury is your opportunity to share your thoughts, hear different opinions, and work together to make recommendations that really matter.

This Citizens’ Jury has been commissioned and funded by Yorkshire & Humber Secure Data Environment to recruit 25 members of the public to help shape the future of healthcare research.

How Does a Citizens’ Jury Work?

The Citizens’ Jury is designed to encourage open and meaningful conversations.

Over a few days, you will;

• Learn about the Yorkshire and Humber Secure Data Environment (SDE) and why it matters. A secure data environment (SDE) is a platform that stores and provides access to data while keeping it secure and private. SDEs are often used to store health and social care data for research and analysis.
• Share your views and work with the group to provide answers to key questions.
• Hear from a range of experts, including clinicians, researchers, policy specialists, and people with different opinions.

Why Should You Join?

As a Citizens’ Juror, you will:

• Represent your community and make sure all voices are heard.
• Help shape how the NHS uses data to improve healthcare and research.
• Get training and learn new skills.
• Be paid for your time.

Who Can Join?

Yorkshire and Humber Secure Data Environment are looking for people from all backgrounds across Yorkshire and Humber. They will choose participants through a random selection process to make sure the jury reflects the region’s diversity.

You do not need to be an expert – they want everyday people with everyday perspectives.
