Co-Production and PPI: Doing It Well in Rheumatology

Have you ever thought about what meaningful patient engagement in a project looks like? Are you keen to work with patients in QI projects and research but don't know where to start? 

In this next episode of the patient voices series Lynn Laidlaw, experienced public partner and peer researcher, and Dr Charlotte Sharp, an academic Rheumatologist, talk to Dr Roz Benson about co-production and patient and public involvement in rheumatology. They discuss examples from grass roots projects to large scale national initiatives and their experiences along the way. 

After listening you'll fing yourself challenged to find a reason why you shouldn't be working to involve patients in your projects from the beginning!
