Crawley Community Action is hosting a community health panel on Wednesday, 15 April 2026, to discuss how people in Crawley, West Sussex, can get involved in medical research. The meeting will be held at The Orchard, located at 1-2 Gleneagles Court on Brighton Road.

The panel aims to look at why some local communities are currently under-represented in health and care studies. Organisers want to ensure that future medical treatments and services are developed to better reflect the specific needs of all residents in the town.

Attendees will have the opportunity to share their ideas on how to make it easier for people to take part in clinical research. The discussion will focus on ways to reduce the barriers that often prevent certain groups from joining important medical projects.

By gathering feedback directly from the community, the charity hopes to help improve local healthcare outcomes. The session is part of a wider effort to make sure that medical data and new treatments are more inclusive and effective for everyone living in the area.
