Patient and public involvement and engagement


Patient and public involvement and engagement in research is defined as "research being carried out with or by members of the public rather than 'to', 'about' or 'for' them."

This includes, for example, working with funders to choose research topics, offering advice as members of a project steering group, or commenting on and developing research materials such as patient information leaflets.
