Patient and Public Involvement 

PPI is key to our research and allows us to perform the best quailty patient focused  research possible.

SHAPING RESEARCH

Patient & public involvement (PPI) in research is where our research is carried out 'with' or 'by' patients and members of the public rather than,'to', 'about' or 'for' them.

How Might I benefit From Being Involved?

  • By having a say in research that is important to you

  • Through sharing your experience.

  • By Learning more about research.

  • Through meeting new people.

  • By gaining confidence and new skills.
