To maximise the impact of PPI and improve research for everyone, we need to involve a diverse range of people and communities. This session encourages participants to think about ways to design inclusive PPI opportunities that work for the communities they wish to involve. We will look at best practice and examples for relationship building, recruitment, activity planning and follow up.

This session will particularly suit research or PPI staff who have some experience of public involvement in research and are now looking for ways to increase the diversity of those they involve.

We will cover:

  • Looking broadly at groups historically excluded from research
  • Common challenges
  • Different communication channels and methods
  • Inclusive PPI activities
  • Following up post activity and research project
  • Working collaboratively to facilitate relationships across sectors
  • Accessibility needs contributors may have

We will draw from case studies and experiences of local researchers working in this space.

Please note we work on PPI with adults; what's discussed can relate to all audiences; however, we do not specifically cover PPI with children or young people. This session will not cover information or advice about working with specific groups or communities.
