PPIE Training Programme | Introduction to PPIE in Research for Public Contributors

We are pleased to welcome Victoria Bartle and Chris Lloyd to lead our next session in our PPIE training programme.

 

Session Information

This session is part of a broader pilot Public Partnership Training Programme being run by NHIP. It is aimed at those patients or members of the public (together called ‘Public Contributors’) who are curious about, new to or less-experienced with healthcare research and Patient and Public Involvement & Engagement (PPIE).

 

The session will last approximately 2 hours and will cover the basic concepts in research, why the involvement of Public Contributors (also known by other names including Research Partner, Patient Advocates, Patient Advisors, Patient Representatives, Consumers) is vital and what is Patient & Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) in healthcare research. The primary focus will be on Involvement activities, the definition of which will be discussed early in the training session

 

The session will be run by highly-experience Public Contributors and will be conducted using non-technical language with any necessary technical terms used similarly explained. It will consist of presentations, group discussions and practical exercises to that you can get a good feel for what being a Public Contributor is like or simply refresh your knowledge.

 

Programme Information

 

The training 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. There are various training sessions available that are relevant to individual levels of PPIE and participation knowledge.
