Michal Chantowski
My involvement in this project dates back to early 2024. I am driven by my passion for ensuring all voices are heard, and all needs considered when services, including health are designed. I have been selected to represent the Oxford Vaccine Centre (at the University of Oxford) at NISEC II , and I am pleased to contribute to this project, which has the potential to save lives, and help people to enjoy better health.
I also build on experience of Public and Patient Involvement work, gained through Research Support Service and Newcastle University, dating back to 2022, the NIHR Academy, as well as the experience of co-producing the NICE 2016 Community Engagement in Health guidance.
I am based in Sunderland and work for the International Community Organisation of Sunderland (ICOS), which supports migrants in the North East of England, including Eastern Europeans and refugees. In this line of work, I utilise my experience of working with minority ethnic and migrant communities, including the Eastern European community in the voluntary and community sector, dating back to 2009.
As a migrant living in the UK, I use my personal experience of migration when delivering my community work, including PPI.
