  1. Update on progress: KL
  1. Towards a PPI strategy for LhARA: GJ, HH
    • Main stem of strategy is to raise awareness with public and with patients. Then develop the engagement as the programme progresses.
    • Hard to see anything which would not benefit patients and also the health services. Patient input is vital all at all stages in the development of the programme.
    • Management of PPI will take time. Perhaps means that we need to include some resource. Marsden PPI outreach.
    • HH sits on various PPI advisory groups and can make links top various institutes.
      • Focus on engagement rather than involvement.
    • StG:
      • Agrees re effort involved in getting broad activity. Link to the Royal Marsden will be important.
    • KK:
      • BRC links important.
    • SG expressed it grateful recognition of the efforts of GJ and HH and the PPI representatives in drafting the two Lay Summaries so far. Both are/will be published.
  1. Towards a clinician-engagement strategy for LhARA: StG
    • Neil Burnett and Adrian Crellin from Brm meeting might be pursuared to promote activity. Elizabeth Schuster, Rostoc is a researcher into the impact of microbeams.
    • There is a need to reach out to research-active clinicians. Probably should build up a target list in preparation for a webinar. A process such as that adopted by TP for the endstation/diagnostics development would be appropriate.
    • KK:
      • Noted the perception in the community that laser-ion beams are like nuclear fusion -- always 15 years away.
      • Critical to develop clear statement of what what the laser-hybrid technique can do that others cant.
    • Meeting:
      • We agreed to work towards a meeting of the relevant peer groups. TKW agreed to make contact with IoP at "top level".
  1. Transformative Healthcare Technologies second call: KL/All
    Updated outline presented at the LhARA weekly meeting 22Sep20
    Discussion included:
    • PPI: GJ/HH
    • Clinician engagement: StG
