Trauma Patient and Public Involvement (PPI)

This is a group of people who have used the Trauma Service as patients, family, carers or friends and members of the public who have an interest in the specialty.

The aim is to actively involve patients, carers and the public in all aspects of research from developing research questions and managing the process to disseminating research findings.

Examples of activities are:

• the review of study information sheets
• discussion of ideas for studies from conception to implementation
• joining trial management or trial steering committees.

Sometimes they are asked to join a group and attend meetings about a specific project.

Payment and expenses are available and information about this will be provided for each event.

What happens to the information I supply?

All information will be treated in a confidential manner, and kept on secure password-protected University computers.
