Research summary
Patient and Public involvement (PPI) remains a key element in current health policy and is linked to ensuring patient safety, improving health outcomes and patient experience as well as enhancing research quality and outcomes. However, PPI remains a challenging field of research, reflecting wide ranging approaches from passive consultation to active partnership. Furthermore, there continues to be limited evidence as to the impact of such approaches, both in health research and in service design and development. There is a need to evaluate what models of PPI have the most impact and in what circumstances. This project proposes to undertake an evaluation in the Long Term Condition (LTC) setting of a renal dialysis service to determine what models of PPI improve patient experience, under what circumstances and why.
