Patient and Public Involvement Strategy

Research done with and by patients, carers and the public produces better results and treatments. We’ve worked with our Patient and Research Group to identify how we can make sure patients, carers and the public are at the centre of our research.

Our full strategy document is available as a PDF here.

► Understanding the difference PPI makes

We have worked with our Patients and Research Strategy Group to develop a framework for evaluating PPI at the Oxford Health BRC.

You can read about the difference PPI is making in our latest report sharing feedback from researchers.

The framework is informed by our PPI Strategy and the  UK Standards for Public Involvement. This blog post discusses how the framework was developed.

► Aims

We want to:

  • Raise awareness of our research and opportunities for involvement.
  • Build a pool of patients, carers and the public who are interested in being involved in our research.
  • Provide training and resources to support researchers, patients, carers and the public to work together.
  • Engage with community groups and health services, to make sure our involvement and sharing activities reach a wide range of people.
  • Embed patient and public involvement within our research procedures.
  • Understand the experiences of the people we work with, and find out how this kind of involvement changes research.
