NIHR Webinar - How to Develop a PPI Group

What is the webinar series about?

Patient and public involvement is a prerequisite for all research funded by NIHR. It can enhance the relevance and quality of research and help build trust in the research and its outcomes.

But how do we do it effectively? What lessons can we learn from when things didn’t go as well as intended? And how do the UK public involvement standards find expression in practice?

This webinar series, drawing on the experiences of public contributors and researchers, will showcase examples of patient and public involvement in NIHR funded research. Our next webinar of the series is called "How to Develop a PPI Group"

Speakers include: Christina King - Chair of the Prehabilitation PPI group & Sarah Murray - Chair of the National PPI Group for the BHF CRC for Cardiac Surgery at Leicester University.

About this event:

The Bristol-based PPI group has worked as part of the heart surgery prehabilitation research team for four years, evolving from a development grant partner into an essential component of the current study. We will reflect on our journey, discussing both the successes we’ve celebrated and the hurdles we’ve overcome. By sharing this practical knowledge, we hope to offer valuable insights to the research community and public contributors on how PPI can effectively co design and improve medical research.
