Dr Clarissa Giebel - Public Involvement & Engagement in Research

Dr Clarissa Giebel narrates her blog written for Dementia Researcher.

You will have come across the term PPIE, or Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement. It is a given that we involve people affected by a condition, so for us, dementia, in our research design and development, conduct, and dissemination. And that is not restricted to dementia of course. PPIE needs to be embedded in any health and social care research, because how else do we know that we as researchers really address the issues that are most important, and urgent, to those with lived experience? In this blog Clarissa takes us through her advise for great PPIE.
