PPI Guidance

We've collated a series of useful resources that can help guide you through involving people in your research.

UK Standards for Public Involvement

The UK Standards for Public Involvement are designed to improve the quality and consistency of public involvement in research.  They describe what good public involvement looks like and encourage approaches and behaviours that are the hallmark of good public involvement. 

INVOLVE Guidance for Chairs

This guidance has been written to assist Chairs of research groups that include PPI members. It focuses on the aspects of chairing that PPI members have identified as being important. It does not aim to provide general advice on good chairing. However many of these suggestions are likely to benefit all group members – whatever their background – and will help groups to work together more effectively. (PDF Document).

Cancer Research UK - Patient Involvement Toolkit

This toolkit provides guidance, tips and templates to help you plan, deliver and evaluate your patient involvement. 

A practical guide to patient and public involvement in lab-based research

This website offers practical guidance about how to involve patients and the public in laboratory based research.  It was developed by UCLH Biomedical Research Centre, Alzheimer’s Society and Parkinson’s UK, in partnership with patients, the public and researchers.

Cochrane - Involving People: A learning resource for systematic review authors

Involving People is a resource for systematic review editors and authors to support you in getting people involved in the production of your reviews.  The resource will provide best practice and practical suggestions for finding and involving people throughout the review process; including useful resources, guidance documents, interviews about first hand experiences, and links to case studies and examples of good practice.
