Public and Patient Involvement Summer School - Module BM6033
Key information
The PPI Summer School is a much-anticipated annual event delivered over 2 days by members of the School of Medicine’s Participatory Health Research (PHR) Unit.
Exact class dates will be announced in April.
This 3-credit micro-credential offers thought-provoking sessions on public and patient involvement (PPI), combining keynote talks with interactive workshops led by community, patient and academic experts in the field.
You’ll explore the principles and practices of meaningful PPI and build core skills in areas such as engaging research partners, co-developing proposals, participatory methodologies and planning for impactful dissemination.
Workshop topics vary from year to year but may include PLA methods, ethics and governance, collaborative grant development, and research communication with non-academic audiences. Final curriculum is made available in April, 2 months before the summer school.
By the end of the module, you’ll have greater confidence in applying PPI in your own research and a clearer understanding of how inclusive collaboration strengthens research design, relevance and outcomes.
This module is part of Professional Diploma in Participatory Health Research. It can be taken as a standalone micro-credential or as part of a pathway to a larger award.
