Returning for a third year, the Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Event, hosted by NHS Research Scotland, will take place on Tuesday 3 March at Stirling Court Hotel.
PPI Partners, Professionals, Researchers, including Early Career Researchers, and Policymakers working in, and with an interest in, developing their PPI practice and activities are encouraged to attend.
Following a successful event in 2024 and 2025, we are delighted to bring the community together in a larger venue, with an expanded programme providing improved interactivity, increased networking opportunities and a greater showcase of PPI projects across Scotland.
A diverse range of topics will be explored with five interactive workshops including:
Stepping forward together: Overcoming barriers in Public Involvement
Real-world dilemmas in Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement: pragmatic observations from working with under-served groups
Building inclusive knowledge spaces, one LEGO® brick at a time: Involving underrepresented communities in data research
Patient and public involvement in evidence syntheses (systematic reviews)
Trauma-Informed Practices for Ethical Patient and Public Involvement Research.
These sessions will last one hour and provide an in-depth exploration of the topic promoting knowledge transfer, skills development and collaborative learning among participants and workshop facilitators.
Complementing the workshops, a further three oral sessions and three plenary sessions will see multiple presenters come together to showcase projects and initiatives including: Patient Voice in different types of study, Ethical and Inclusive, Public Involvement Action Plan for Wales, and Engaging Scottish Communities with Data.
Review the full programme before registering. During the registration process you will be asked to select your preferred workshop or oral session. A showcase of projects will also be available for viewing throughout the day via the Poster Showcase, with a dedicated session running in the afternoon.
