MVLS Patient and Public Involvement Support
Published: 13 February 2025
The MVLS Patient and Public Involvement Support offers resources and sessions to help researchers actively involve patients and the public in their research projects.
Would you like to develop an active partnership with those who your research may affect? We can help you with that!
The NIHR defines public involvement in research as “research being carried out ‘with’ or ‘by’ members of the public rather than ‘to’, ‘about’ or ‘for’ them. It is an active partnership between patients, carers and members of the public with researchers that influences and shapes research.”
Whether you want to brush up your skills, get feedback on a proposal or join a chat with likeminded colleagues, there are some new sessions available (free!) to support you to achieve your PPI goals. We will be launching more new initiatives in the coming months - if you want to get involved or wish further information, please contact the MVLS PPI Manager anna.morris@glasgow.ac.uk.
Do you already have a PPI Group working in your area?
We are looking for existing PPI activity across the College to collect best practice and connect researchers who are making it happen. If you lead a PPI group or already have PPI embedded in your research could you please email anna.morris@glasgow.ac.uk.
