Our vision is to embed PPIEP into our ways of working, ensuring active involvement of patients, carers, and members of the public in all aspects of our work, from research studies to funding applications and strategic decision-making.
Involving people with lived experience of mental health difficulties (eg. patients, service users and their carers), as well as advocacy groups and members of the public, has been at the heart of our research. We recognise that only by working together can we innovate, ‘think outside the box’ and find creative approaches and solutions to develop better research that serves the needs and interests of patients and carers.
To achieve this, all our 11 research Themes have a specific Patient and Public Involvement, Engagement and Participation (PPIEP) plan and allocated resource that allows their research to be carried out with patients and public contributors in a meaningful way, as well as a core PPIEP team that supports the Themes.
This strategy was co-produced with our PAR (Patients and Research) Strategy Group and the Clinical Research Facility PPIEP lead.
