Patient and Public Involvement
Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) is where members of the public are actively involved in working with researchers to shape research projects. Your experience of being a patient, carer, service user or interested member of the public can improve the quality and impact of the research we carry out.
There are various ways to be involved, for example working with researchers to identify important research questions, helping to develop understandable information for people taking part in research, and ensuring research methods are appropriate for research participants.
