Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) improves the quality of research we carry out.

It makes sure that research and outcomes are relevant and important to patients, carers and the public; research materials are easy to understand; and the research process is sensitive and acceptable to potential participants.

Professor Ilina Singh is the Oxford Health BRC Patient and Public Involvement Theme Lead.

Our aim is to provide a structure for involving patients, carers and the public in our mental health research, here in Oxford and more broadly across the UK.

We work closely with our Patients and Research Group to develop our PPI strategy and work plans.
