In-person: The Lifecycle of Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE)

PPIE is the process where health and care research and products are developed with and by people with lived experience and the public. If done well, it can lead to outcomes that are more relevant, acceptable, equitable and fit for purpose. Rather than a one-off event or consultation, it should be embedded throughout your project or development and beyond. Our workshop will introduce what best practice involvement looks like from the public participants’ perspective (e.g. co-design feedback loops). We will explore what PPI is and its potential benefits, and a detailed look at the lifecycle from defining who you want to work with, to dissemination and evaluation of your work and everything in between. Developed and delivered by the King’s Health Partners Digital Health Hub’s PPI group, this workshop will help you better understand the people you want to involve in your work, and how to work with them well. The workshop will be suitable for anyone new to PPIE, however there is a focus on what best practice looks like from a public participant's point of view which can be helpful even for those with more experience under their belt. We'll also have an open discussion section at the end, so you will be able to raise any points or challenges that you're interested in.
