It’s the end of our first year in CLAHRC Wessex, we have been thinking about our progress in involving patients and the public in our work (or PPI as it’s called), and reviewing where our focus should be for the coming year. We have settled on five strategic aims:
Develop our capacity for patient and public involvement (PPI) in research and implementation programmes
Promote our CLAHRC Wessex activities to the wider public (public engagement)
Evolve and measure ways to include patients and the public to identify research priorities
Develop a group of patient and public researchers
Measure the impact of patient and public involvement within CLAHRC Wessex
