Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement

Patient and Public Involvement and Public Engagement are integral to the School's research and research capacity development activities, and is informed by the National Institute for Health Research policy for patient involvement and the National Co-ordinating Centre for Public Engagement. The School is committed to developing the evidence base for enhancing the effectiveness of involvement and engagement and funds high quality primary and secondary research. Patients, mental health service users, carers and members of the public with an interest in primary care research are encouraged and supported to work in partnership with researchers on projects carried out across the NIHR School for Primary Care Research.
