Location: Unit 2, Scion House, Cancer Care Research Centre

Participation in healthcare research, policy, planning and practice is considered central to best practice, and members of the public, whether as current, previous or future patients across Europe have been encouraged to get involved.
The aim of this course is to facilitate the process whereby health and social care staff effectively involve and engage with patients, carers and members of the public in service development, research and care practice.
Course components include:
• Research evidence about rationales for the policy agenda of involvement and engagement
• Research evidence about barriers and facilitators to involving patients, carers and members of the public
• Research evidence about outcomes of involvement and engagement and whether or not it makes a difference
• Research evidence about how patients, carers and members of the public are involved and engaged
Who would be interested in attending?
Health and Social Care Staff, PFPI leads, Health Care Managers, Patient Experience NHS Leads.
