Public and Patient Involvement at UCD
Both nationally and internationally, there continues to be a significant emphasis on advancing our understanding and practice of public and patient involvement (PPI) in health and social care research. PPI is an approach to research that fosters collaboration between people with lived experiences, researchers, and research institutions.
The (opens in a new window)PPI Ignite Network @ UCD is part of a (opens in a new window)National PPI Network funded by the Health Research Board and Irish Research Council. The PPI Ignite Network @ UCD is based in the Research Office ((opens in a new window)contact).
There is a diversity of PPI activities occurring across UCD, involving a breadth of PPI groups. The PPI Ignite Network @ UCD are looking to capture examples of the diversity and variety of approaches to PPI in UCD. You can submit a case study to showcase your approach and help inspire other researchers (opens in a new window)here.
