Podcasts of interest to the PPI Community

Description:

Have you ever produced or contributed to a podcast? If so,  you will know that creating and publishing podcasts takes a lot of  time, energy and money! Therefore, it is important to make it easy for everyone to find and listen to your podcasts. In the past year, a number of podcasts/podcast series of interest to the PPI community have been published from teams around Ireland – here we gather links to as many of these as we can find.

Have you published a podcast or podcast series of interest to the PPI Community? Do you want to broaden your audience? Send us a link to your podcast/podcast series and we will add it here.

Carewell podcast series

A team of researchers at University College Dublin, in partnership with Family Carers Ireland, are undertaking a four year research project to examine how family carers can be best supported to balance work with care. The Carewell Conversations podcast series aims to raise awareness about the issues and challenges facing family carers who combine work and care.

Including the carer voice on PPI teams is of great importance for many different research areas. By helping researchers and other PPI contributors to understand some of the challenges facing family carers, this podcast series provides an important learning opportunity that can enhance the carer voice across PPI in research.

With 10 episodes published between April and October 2022, this rich resource is available here.  Brian Doyle, a member of the CAREWELL team, is the producer of the podcast series.

PPI from the Clinical Investigator’s Perspective

Eibhlín Mulroe, Cancer Trials Ireland, talks PPI to Prof Sean Dinneen, PPI Ignite Network lead. Sean is a consultant endocrinologist at Saolta’s Galway University Hospital and University of Galway, and leads the D1Now study, where a team of young adults living with diabetes have worked for a number of years to shape and conduct a pilot RCT of a new model of care for young adults with diabetes.

Recognising early on that we (healthcare professionals) were not going to crack this on our own is how I got involved in PPI and it has been one of the most rewarding things I have done.” Listen to this fascinating podcast here.
