Aim and content
Patient and public involvement in health research (PPI) has developed over the latest approximately 20 years. PPI first came into research in the UK and North America but is now quickly developing as part of research worldwide. PPI has been placed in mandatory roles in research, e.g. journals ask for considerations on PPI in submitted manuscripts and funds ask for PPI in the planning and conduct of research projects. In 2017, the Danish research policy publication by the Ministry of Higher Education and Science ’FORSK2025’ stated that ”En væsentlig vej til at opnå samfundsmæssig værdiskabelse er gennem forskningssamarbejder, hvor faggrænser krydses, og brugerne inddrages”.
The course will be based on the latest international developments and place PPI in the conduct of health research in Denmark. The participants will build up an understanding of how, when and why Patient Involvement in research should be part of the way research projects are planned and reported. The course will have sessions of hands on how to conduct PPI.
The aim of this course is to introduce the concept of PPI and take an analytical and critical view on the processes and potential outcomes of PPI. The course will focus on the various kinds of barriers that the researcher meets when she/he decides to involve patient representatives in research projects. There will be a special focus on the role of researchers, on the role of patient representatives and the interaction of patients and researchers that constitutes PPI.
