Making a Start: A toolkit for research charities to begin a PPI relationship

This new PPI toolkit helps health research charities and others starting on the journey to tackle this challenge.

How do we begin the conversation about research involvement with patients and the public? This new PPI toolkit helps health research charities and others starting on the journey to tackle this challenge. It offers particular guidance on facilitating a first workshop with PPI contributors.

It was developed in partnership by TCD PPI Ignite, HRCI and our member charities and the facilitator of a UK PPI-focused group of research charities and took a co-design approach to the process. The many different perspectives included have resulted in a well-rounded and thoughtful toolkit, designed to make you think about what is important in PPI as much as to help you in very practical ways to take your first steps.
