Patient and Public Involvement Training
Learn how you can use patient and public involvement (PPI) in your research in a more inclusive way.
Our three-session online training course for researchers in any field will share how you can ensure good quality involvement that embeds lived experience knowledge into research projects.
More funders and institutions are requiring researchers to have PPI built into their studies and PhD programmes.
Join our next training course to take advantage of our extensive experience delivering patient and public involvement across a range of studies, from large randomised controlled trials to small qualitative evaluations.
