Patient and public involvement (PPI) evaluation

The British Paediatric Surveillance Unit Executive Committee (EC) appointed a working group of its members to undertake a review of patient and public involvement. 

The processes for PPI in the research undertaken by the BPSU have been strengthened since 2006. These reports provide a review  of these developments and how PPI has been adopted in studies currently on the BPSU Orange Card. 

The review has been split into two stages using two different methods:

  • The first was undertaken by a working group comprised of members from the BPSU EC.   A summary of documentary evidence from the Unit, Executive Committee and individual studies record decisions, discussion and use of new PPI processes was collated

  • TwoCan Associates and a steering group  were responsible for the second stage. Qualitative research in the form of semi-structured interviews with a range of BPSU stakeholders were conducted.  The aim was  to understand perception and views of PPI within the activities of the BPSU
