Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement is embedded across all our research.

We work with people with lived experience, patients, carers, community organisations and under-represented groups to shape research from design to dissemination.

Our focus is on meaningful, equitable involvement in decision-making to ensure our research reflects lived experience. Our aim is to ensure our research reflects diverse experiences, addresses inequalities, and leads to outcomes that matter to the public. We provide support, training, and fair payment for public contributors, and focus on building long term, meaningful relationships.

Key topics: public involvement, research inclusion, co-production, community engagement, lived experience.
