Patient involvement and engagement

A patient discussion group

How can I involve patients and the public in my research?

If you're looking for guidance and information on how to include members of the public and patients in your research – and want to find out more about the benefits of doing so – then there's a range of resources to help.

Resources from the Patient Experience Research Centre

Public involvement resource hub

The public involvement resource hub features guidance for staff and students on all areas of public involvement, from identifying areas for involvement and applying for funding to evaluating your activity.

Public involvement training

A series of training modules, which are suitable for both Imperial researchers and patients/members of the public.

PPI case studies and blogs

Public involvement case studies
