About the workshops
The BRC provides regular PPIE training sessions for researchers.
The award-winning sessions build up researchers’ skills and confidence in involving lay people in activities, including setting research priorities and designing protocols. Evaluation in BMJOpen (Yu et al. 2021) showed marked increases in researchers’ PPIE confidence after our training.
We offer 4 modules - you can attend all 4 modules to build up knowledge progressively or pick the one(s) that best suit you:
- - Intro to PPI and ethical considerations
- - How to find diverse patient/public partners, and keep them involved
- - How to involve and facilitate discussions with patients and the public
- - How to fill in the PPI section in funding applications, accessibility and writing plain English summaries
This training is open to biomedical research researchers and staff across the UK and internationally. The course is also part of UCL's Doctoral Skills Development Programme and UCL post docs will earn career points for attending.
