Abstract Background Public and Patient Involvement, Engagement Participation research encompasses working with patients/service users (people a medical condition receiving health service treatment), public members, caregivers communities (who use services or care for patients). The Partner Priority Programme (PPP) was developed by the National Health Service [NHS] Institute Research Collaborati...

BACKGROUND The policy imperative to engage the public and patients in research can be seen as part of a wider shift in the research environment. This study addresses the question: Has there been a shift in attitudes to Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) and Public Engagement in Science (PES) amongst researchers? METHODS Attitudes to PPI and PES within a cluster of three NIHR supported Biome...

BACKGROUND There are mounting calls for robust, critical evaluation of the impact of patient and public involvement (PPI) in health research. However, questions remain about how to assess its impact, and whether it should be assessed at all. The debate has thus far been dominated by professionals. OBJECTIVE To explore the views of PPI contributors involved in health research regarding the imp...

OBJECTIVE To identify the priorities of UK PPI stakeholders for methodological research to help resolve uncertainties about PPI in clinical trials. DESIGN A modified Delphi process incl...

UNLABELLED : Patient and public involvement (PPI) in research is increasingly required, although evidence to inform its implementation is limited.
