Evaluation of Patient and Public Involvement in Research

In 2006, a commitment was made by the UKCRC Patient and Public Involvement Project Group to support the development of the evidence base on patient and public involvement in research, contributing to work being led by INVOLVE. As a result, four evaluation projects have been undertaken:

During 2009, the Board Subgroup for Patient and Public Involvement oversaw the implementation of a number of the recommendations that emerged from the first two projects. Work that continues into 2010 will be led by INVOLVE in its role as lead UKCRC Partner for patient and public involvement.

Copies of the full reports and executive summaries of the completed projects are available to download.
