This module explores what Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) is and why it is so important to involve people from the start and throughout. It also gets you to think about where you are with PPI as you inform, engage, involve and co-produce with people as you develop your innovation or service.
It also covers the three important drivers for involving patients and the public in healthcare innovation and why these are critical to getting your innovation moving within the NHS.
