Grant funding agencies throughout Europe are insisting that patients be actively involved in clinical research. It is no longer just a matter of paying "lip service" to patients' views and priorities. Investigators need a genuine plan for involving the benificiaries of the research.
ESLRR in conjunction with the National Institute for Health Research Biomedical Research Centre at Moorfields Eye Hospital, delivered a short course on Patient and Public Involvement (PPI). The course included insights from a local, national, and international perspective and covered subjects such as "What exactly is PPI and what is its purpose", "How do you do PPI", "How is PPI relevant to my research", "Why is PPI an area that can no longer be ignored".
Course instructors included Maryrose Tarpey, Assistant Directore at the INVOLVE Coordinating Centre, Dolores Conroy, Director of Research at Fight for Sight, and Bec Hanley, Co-Director at TwoCan Associates who will cover what PPI actually looks like and how to do it.
The course also looked at case studies from Moorfields BRC/UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and offered the opportunity to ask questions of clinicians, researchers, and patients who have been involved with PPI.
