Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE)

In order to achieve our overall aim, we will: 

1. Listen to voices that are relevant for our research while ensuring that the underserved also have a voice (UK Standard for Inclusive Opportunities)

2. Develop and sustain a culture that values contributions from different perspectives through mutually respectful and productive relationships (UK Standard for Working Together)

3. Provide adequate PPIE training, support and learning opportunities in a timely manner to meet the needs of the projects and contributors’ own development needs (UK Standard for Support and Learning)

4. Involve PPIE members in strategic and operational decision-making to ensure research and decision-making is more transparent (UK Standard for Governance)

5. Use accessible materials to communicate complex methods issues to enable PPIE members to contribute, to expand the reach of our research and maximise impact (UK Standard for Communications)

6. Measure, document and evaluate the impact of PPIE on our research with a view to providing a better understanding of how PPIE can work with methods and policy research, which will be disseminated to others who work in this field (UK Standard for Impact)
