A key priority from Involvement Matters was to ‘Proactively promote and signpost to existing Personal and Public Involvement (PPI) resources for both researchers and people who want to get involved in research’.
To help deliver on this priority, HSC R&D would like to share resources to support more inclusive working.
For researchers:
- See Page 3-4 of HSC R&D Division’s document: A guide to using the UK Standards for Public Involvement within PPI initiatives
- Creating Connections, North East and North Cumbria Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) Network: Community Engagement Toolkit
For the public:
- Shaping our Lives: A guide for people who want to share their lived experience.
- Service Users and Carers Checklist: What do I need to consider? What do I need to do?
For more information, please see HSC R&Ds’ PPI Resource Libraries for Researchers and for the Public, or NIHR Learning for Involvement.
