Next course: 4th December 2024
Time: 10:00 - 16:00 GMT
Location: via Zoom
Training Facilitators: Kate Sturgeon & Ben Cromarty

Come and join our PPI in trials face-to-face training day on 13th December from 10am-4pm in the High Holborn offices! This is a practical and really interactive and interesting session co-facilitated by a PPI representative! Trial and data mangers may find it particularly useful as you will learn more about how you can involve patients and the public in your research, potential barriers to involvement and ways of overcoming these.

This course is a practical, interactive workshop for those working in clinical trials who already or wish to actively involve patients or the public in their trials. It offers participants the opportunity to:

build an understanding of PPI in health research and specifically in clinical trials;
begin involving patients and public in their research, and/or develop their involvement activities in a meaningful manner; and
learn from other participants about what works in specific contexts.

Learning objectives

To build participants’ understanding of patient & public involvement in health research in general and in clinical trials in particular
To enable participants to distinguish between participation, engagement and involvement
To identify some of the obstacles to effective PPI and to think about how to overcome these
To learn about what kind of PPI might work in specific contexts by looking at a range of case studies
To enable participants to begin to plan to actively involve patients in a trial, or to develop this involvement if it is already taking place
To address any specific questions or concerns that participants may have about PPI in clinical trials
