Newcastle Health Research Partnership (NHIP) has joined forces with Creating Connections to run a pilot series of training sessions in Patient, Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) from September 2024.

 

The programme is open to staff and public contributors involved in health and care research, regardless of their role or the organisation they work for. The sessions will offer participants the opportunity to learn how to do PPIE and participation activities effectively within research. There is no requirement to have any previous experience within PPIE.

 

We are pleased to welcome Isobel Corby of Haref Network Connected Voices to lead the first session, Cultural Competency Training (Newcastle focus).

 

This session will help you to:

1. Explore ‘what do we mean by culture?’
2. Understand the diverse and intersecting characteristics of local communities
3. Develop skills to identify barriers to accessing services
4. Recognise good practice
5. Feel more confident in working with different communities
