We want to improve our clinical research processes, our research participants’ experiences and make sure that our trials and studies provide maximum benefit to people’s health – to do this, we need your help.


Involving people in our clinical research is about more than asking them to take part in a trial or study. Volunteers also help to shape our clinical research activities – what we do and how we do it – and we call this Patient and Public Involvement (PPI). This includes:

  • meeting up to discuss ideas for clinical research trials and studies
  • reviewing clinical research information sheets and posters
  • feeding back ideas on how to promote clinical research trials and studies and their results
  • helping us identify research priorities
  • taking part in a clinical research trial or study steering group

We work with a range of people to shape our clinical research activities, including people with experience of a particular condition (as a patient, family member or carer), people who have taken part in a trial or study, and those who have an interest in clinical research.

For more information

The PPI team can provide more information, including how to become a PPI member, and answer any questions you have.
