Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in Research inception meeting for the ExtraCECI Project

Start date and time

Friday 4 October 2024

Location

This engagement was initially organised virtually pending and an in-person engagement planned for January 2025

Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in Research inception meeting was held to first create awareness about the ExtraCECI project and to also discuss the rationale for involving patients and public in research. During this presentation, the development activities including the feasibility trial findings that informed the ExtraCECI project was discussed including the aims and objectives of the project. The first objective being the establishment of a patient and public involvement (PPI) network of support groups and stakeholders to inform research procedures and dissemination throughout the project implementation, this objective was discussed extensively. This started with a definition of PPI, their role in research projects and particularly how PPI is being involved in the ExtraCECI project and what their participation would look like. We concluded with a discussion on the project timelines, how often we will be engaging the PPI in each project year and the audience were given opportunity to ask questions.
