SUMMARY:Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) Summer School
DESCRIPTION:This unique\, three-day\, in-person PPIE Summer School is hosted by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Applied Research Collaborations South West Peninsula (PenARC). Furthermore\, co-designed and delivered by academics and public collaborators\, it offers a rare opportunity to explore the values that underpin Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE). \nThe course combines theory\, reflection\, and practical exploration in a supportive learning environment. Throughout the three immersive days\, you will move from foundational principles and power dynamics\, through creative and relational approaches to involvement\, to reflecting on leadership and culture in their own practice and the contexts in which they work. \nThe PPIE Summer School is designed for people undertaking or supporting health or care research from early career researchers to senior academics\, PPIE leads and facilitators. It is also relevant to those who are new to public involvement and would like to begin. \nThroughout the course\, you will be supported within a safe\, collaborative learning space that encourages shared learning\, openness and reflection. \nFees include all three days of teaching\, course materials\, daily lunch and refreshments; plus an evening meal and welcome drink on the first day \n\n\n\n\n\nIt was extremely inspiring and left me with lots of ideas about my PPIE/research work \n\nPrevious delegate \n\n\n\nWhy this course matters\nPPIE in research continues to gain importance in health and care research. In particular\, it gives people with experience of illnesses and service use the opportunity to add their knowledge to research. Moreover\, it also creates an ethos of equality where patients and members of the public work with researchers as partners – in ways that are ‘for’ or ‘with’ them\, rather than ‘to’ or ‘about’ them. \nFinally\, it is an important means by which people can have a say in publicly funded research and be given the opportunity to make decisions\, shape\, and learn more about research. \nThis course is an opportunity to explore beyond the numbers and the rhetoric of PPIE. We will examine innovative and honest ways of generating and spreading knowledge. We will also explore how to foster the uptake of this knowledge through partnerships with care sectors\, the public and communities – partnerships that reflect creativity and justice. \nWho is it for?\nThis unique interdisciplinary course is relevant to people undertaking health or care research\, including PhD students and those in PPIE co-ordinator/facilitator roles. Equally\, it is also relevant to people who are not currently involving members of the public in their work but would like to do so. Linking research and practice\, the course is tailored to those who are working across different disciplines in medicine\, health and social care\, and public health. \nIf you are seeking to strengthen partnerships\, deepen your understanding of PPIE values\, or embed creativity and justice within your work\, this course is for you. \nProgramme at a glance\nThroughout the three days\, participants will engage in small-group discussions\, creative exercises\, case-based learning and structured reflection\, supported by experienced facilitators. \n\nExplore the values and principles underpinning PPIE\nExamine creativity as a method and ethos in research partnerships\nReflect on justice\, equity and power in involvement practice\nEngage in practical\, skills-based activities\nShare learning across disciplines and roles\nUltimately\, develop new ideas to apply in your own research or organisational contexts\n\nDelivery format\nThe PPIE Summer School is a three-day\, in-person course held in Exeter. \nSpecifically\, the Summer School combines: \n\nInteractive workshops\nSmall group work\nReflective learning\nCreative and practice-based sessions\nOpportunities for shared discussion with academics and public collaborators\n\nThe emphasis\, therefore\, is on creating a safe\, supportive space for dialogue\, reflection and collaborative learning. \nSocial and networking opportunities\nWe are offering a couple of social activities alongside the main learning programme to give space to connect with fellow delegates and facilitators. \nDay 1: You are invited to join us for a welcome evening meal\, included as part of your registration. \nDay 2: Join a guided evening tour of Exeter’s oldest building\, St Nicholas Priory.
