Patient and public involvement (PPI) refers to research carried out "with" or "by" members of the public, rather than "to", "about" or "for" them. PPI canbe achieved in different ways. A research team can collaborate with patient partners across some or all stages of a study, from problem identification to research dissemination. PPI can also be part of the structures and institutions of research, e.g. setting research priorities.
This page lists various national and international organisations that offer advice to researchers working in PPI. The organisations are general, meaning that their guidance can be used in different research specialities and settings.
Each organisation has its own definition of PPI and what it involves.
