Our Strategy and Regional Workplan

Our mission for public involvement is to promote appropriate and meaningful public involvement in the research we support. We believe involving people who have personal knowledge and experience of a research topic as a patient, service user or carer will strengthen and improve the quality of research and make it more relevant and appropriate.

Our strategic objectives are linked to the strategic recommendations which are outlined in the Going the Extra Mile (GtEM) review. Our strategy and work plan have been developed in collaboration with our Public Involvement Forum and signed off by our Executive group.

  1. Provide high quality, evidence based public involvement support and guidance for researchers at the grant application stage.
