Nur’s course on LV has been an absolute delight! Her extensive experience and deep knowledge are packed into just four modules, and it’s exactly what I was hoping for and more. From the basics to real-world examples, the course takes you on an intense learning journey. And Nur’s holistic approach to human relationships is a great addition to this exciting field in life science and linguistics. Highly recommend it!

Mark Gibson
Mark Gibson is the owner and (reluctant) CEO of Gibson Research Consultancy (GRC) Ltd. Based in Leeds, United Kingdom. GRC is a small company with a broad reach: it has staff across four continents, conduct Patient Voice-related projects in over 190 countries and we partner with over 23000 professional research and health professionals around the world. Its business model is typically to ‘white label’ for bigger partner companies, which means that they are possibly the most prolific purveyor of services like cognitive debriefing for COA or usability testing for eCOA that nobody has ever heard of. Mark’s interest in the Patient Voice spans three decades and has seen a number of manifestations of this. He became immersed in Patient Voice research (it was simply called ‘research’ then) upon embarking on an academic career and specialised early on in hard-to-reach and marginalised communities. Mark is also co-director at Art of Diversity, and co-host of the Patient Voice & Linguistic Validation Café podcast, a platform for community learning and discussion.
