Webinar: An introduction to patient and public involvement in health and social care research

The newly formed International PPI Network, in collaboration with Cochrane Training, will be delivering a regular programme of webinars that cover a wide range of issues related to patient and public involvement and engagement in health and social research in a global context.

The webinar series will open on August 20th, 1pm, with an introduction to patient and public involvement in health and social care research. Acknowledging that different countries use different terminology the presenters will explain how involvement in research differs from participation in research. They will go on to articulate why patient and public involvement is important and how it can improve research. Finally, the presenters will share their examples and key tips of how to do it. There will also be time for a question and answer session.
