Key Considerations to facilitate and sustain Public and Patient membership on Institutional Research Ethics Committees

Description:

This document aims to support institutional RECs to evaluate their own practice and assess their readiness to include PPI members on their committees. Acknowledging what barriers
exist (including where and when they arise) forms an important step towards building an infrastructure for successful PPI membership on a REC. The document is framed as four stages of the Transtheoretical Model of Change: Contemplation; Preparation; Action; and Maintenance. It is not a protocol nor an absolute list of barriers to PPI membership. Whilst all RECs have common goals to uphold ethical standards and integrity of research, each local REC will operate within the context of their institution/organisational structures and thus this
document primarily supports reflection of practice and motivation for change.
