PPI Workshops back by Popular Demand

A series of patient and public involvement (PPI) workshops

for clinical researchers is back by popular demand.

 The workshops, which are open to researchers working in UCL Partners partnership organisations, are practical and the aim is to build up researchers’ skills effectively involving lay people in the research process from setting research priorities to designing protocols. Workshops will run during February and March 2015 and are graded ‘beginners’ and ‘experienced’. Topics include introduction to PPI, filling in grant forms and the role of the lay person on steering groups and committees. Locations are across central London including UCL, the Royal London, Queen Mary University London and Moorfields.

Working with service users in the education of students who are studying to go into the health and social care sector is a well-established method of training. It is also considered that this is a valuable practice for service users, helping them gain confidence, social skills and improving their communication with others.

This event will present the finding of research looking at the results of service users’ experience of working with students who are training to go into the health and social care sector.

Join us on the 28th January 2015 for an engaging discussion around this topic.
