We support researchers in how to engage, inform and include public audiences in research. Our goal is to move towards a culture of active patient and public involvement, where research is carried out with, or by, members of the public rather than ‘to’, ‘about’ or ‘for’ them.
Our Strategy
In collaboration with NIHR Moorfields Biomedical Research Centre, we have implemented a joint five-year strategy for the involvement and engagement of patients and the public in research.
Our mission is to involve patients and/or representatives from relevant public charitable bodies in every aspect of the work of our Centre.
This strategy also aligns with national strategies and developments in PPIE including those from INVOLVE (the national coordinating centre for public engagement) and the NIHR. This strategy will develop and be refined further as we build deeper relationships with public contributors, researchers and clinicians; and as we establish new external networks, partnerships and collaborations. This will help to ensure that our strategy is informed through shared experiences, informed discussions and best practices to enable us to respond to changes in need.
