Get Involved
It is essential that members of the public are given the opportunity to be involved in research at all stages. Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement or PPIE, is an active partnership between patients and the public and researchers in the research process.
Find out more on the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) website: Patients, carers and the public | NIHR.
You can be involved in:
- Identifying what research is important to you and your communities
- Helping to design the study
- Volunteering to take part or undertaking interviews with people taking part in the research
- Helping to share the findings
- Helping to shape the changes in the services that you receive
When using the term ‘public’ we include patients, potential patients, carers and people who use health and social care services as well as people from organisations that represent people who use services.
If you'd like to learn more about what's involved in research or hear from the volunteers who have taken part, please explore our 'People's stories' page.
You can also access this free National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), three-week online course: What is Health Research? Anyone can register and you can complete the course at your own pace.
