Hear from our experienced public contributors about how researchers can work effectively with members of the public, including young people.

Most of us know that patient and public involvement (PPI) is essential to high quality research. But what should researchers consider when working with public contributors?In this hour-long online seminar, you will hear from four of our public contributors - two adults and two young people - about their experiences of being involved in research.Sarah and Louise have worked in PPI for 15 years between them. They have used this wealth of experience to create resources to help researchers who are working with public contributors.Sarah has developed a <a href="https://arc-w.nihr.ac.uk/patient-and-public-involvement/working-effectively-with-public-contributors/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">new written guide</a> to working effectively with public contributors.
