Patient Involvement

What do we mean by patient and public involvement?

Patient and public involvement refers to patients, service users, carers, families, people with lived experience of health conditions (who may or may not be current patients), patient advocacy organisations, and members of the public. We aim to work in partnership with representatives in the planning, designing dissemination and translation of clinical audit and research.1

The widely used definition of Patient and Public Involvement in research is: ‘--- research carried out ‘with’ or ‘by’ members of the public rather than ‘to’, ‘about’ or ‘for’ them’.2
