“This interactive workshop will share toolkits and highlight resources available to help facilitate patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) in research. The session will draw upon two case studies around stigma in infectious disease outbreaks and using art as a means of public engagement and patient empowerment.

You will learn effective methods in developing and carrying out PPIE activities, hearing from researchers and community contributors about their own PPIE journeys, approaches, and experiences.

We will share documents and processes used to support PPIE, newly developed by a network of PPIE experts at Oxford.

Participants will have the opportunity to question and discuss these approaches in an interactive and informal setting. This workshop is aimed at everyone and anyone who finds themselves facilitating PPIE activities, or who may be interested in starting PPIE activities in the future.”
