It's time we talk about patient engagement
07th December 2023
11.30am Online
This webinar is designed as an introduction to researchers who are new to patient engagement and curious to learn more about good practices. Patient engagement is the term used in Europe for PPI.
While academic researchers are gradually involving patients and citizens in their research, meaningful patient engagement practices are challenging to develop in academia for various reasons such as lack of human and financial resources, or limited awareness of the tools and services available to guide researchers in their patient engagement journey.
