PPI Plans

What other ways are you using to find PPI contributors?

Remember this PPI Opportunities Noticeboard is not the only way to find people. Draw in particular on your local community also and identify the diversity that will benefit your research. Check out this blog.

What are your PPI plans?

What is your plan for regular communication/follow-up from the research team throughout the study? Do you have a process in place for PPI contributors to raise concerns or questions about their involvement? What supports will you have in place to build the PPI capacity of your PPI contributors? What is your plan for managing conflict or any distress that might arise for PPI contributors?
