PPIE Groups

Patient & Public Involvement & Engagement Groups work with patients and the public to shape our research, allowing those with lived experience to engage with it in meaningful ways. You can find out more about how PPIE is embedded into all research projects in our PPIE strategy.

If you would like to learn more about what PPIE groups are currently based at the University, have a look at our PPIE opportunities.

Understanding Uncertainty – Involving People with Lived Experience in Research into Medical Communication and Decision Making

How Lived Experience is Shaping Our Team Science Approach to Inclusive Research

"Having insight from this group allowed me to gain a more nuanced understanding of these patients’ experiences, particularly as each of their individual stories were so different. My longer-term hope is that this project can show the members of my PPI group (as well as patients and the public more generally) that their views and experiences truly can make a difference."
