Evaluating Impact in PPIE

This learning and development workshop is jointly hosted by People in Health West of England, the University of Bristol's Centre for Academic Primary Care, and the NIHR's School for Primary Care Research

What are the different approaches that can be used when evaluating public involvement? What resources can we use when planning and evaluating involvement?

This two-hour workshop looks at the issues to consider, defines impact, and how impact can be captured through different tools. We will be looking at four specific tools: PiiAF, PIRIT, the Public Impact Log and the Cube Evaluation Framework.

What will you get out of this workshop?

• Working knowledge of the strengths and weaknesses of four different approaches
• Lots of time for questions!
