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?

Through sharing your experience.

By Learning more about research.
-
Through meeting new people.
-
By gaining confidence and new skills.
Hello my name is Katherine Smith and I’m one of the Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPI) Facilitators working in the Respiratory Research Unit. Part of the work I do involves supporting our Respiratory Researchers with PPI in their studies.
