Ignite Insight: Embedding PPI in your PhD

The PPI Ignite Network Shared Learning Group comprises of over 100 PhD scholars from across Ireland and internationally. This interactive session is open to anyone who is interested in learning about embedding PPI in PhD research, such as PhD supervisors (e.g., those new to PPI starting with new students), early PhD students starting out or considering PPI, and PhD scholars at different stages of using PPI in their PhD. Please note an PhD scholars considering using PPI who may have supervisors who are new to PPI, this will be of particular benefit to both. No matter what stage you are in your PhD research journey; this session is for you!

During this session, attendees will be introduced to the benefits, solutions and challenges of embedding Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) within PhD research and invited to share their experiences.

A list of useful resources will also be shared with attendees to start embedding PPI in your research journey. Also any attendees who wish to join the PPI Shared Learning group is most welcome.

This is the second event of the seminar series aimed at PhD students taking place during the National PPI Festival. Here, attendees will be introduced to the challenges, solutions, and benefits of embedding PPI within their PhD.

There will be an online event on successive Friday's in October and a fourth in-person event at a number of locations around Ireland, some happening on the fourth Friday in October.

PhD scholars across the PPI Ignite Network are working together to coordinate a series of events during the National PPI Festival to:
- celebrate progress in embedding PPI in PhD research in Ireland
- share and reflect on examples of PPI in PhDs
- exchange knowledge and discuss challenges encountered
- provide an opportunity for a local, in-person shared learning event for PhD students
