We’re always striving to improve patient and public involvement (PPI) in our work and to strengthen the PPI literacy of colleagues. As part of this, we were delighted to secure funding from the Newcastle University Tilly Hale and Engage FMS schemes to facilitate the project Great Expectations: Building a Shared Understanding of the Role of Lay Co-applicants in Research. This was a collaboration between our BTRU, the BTRU in Donor Health and Behaviour, the NIHR Research Design Service North East, NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) and public members.
Watch this video to see PPIE Lead Hannah Murray explain a little more about how the project took shape and then take a look at the animation that was the culmination of all the hard work.
