International PPI Network

The International Network for Public Involvement and Engagement in Health and Social Care Research was launched in London on 27th November 2017. Our vision is for a world where patient and public involvement is an integral part of health research. Our mission is that by working together we will build a global partnership that shares knowledge and promotes, supports and strengthens patient and public involvement in health research. Our objectives are: to promote and raise awareness of patient and public involvement in health research; to support and enable patients and public to be involved in health research; to develop ways of sharing experience, knowledge and expertise of patient and public involvement in health research; to work with organisations across the globe, including those from low and middle-income countries, to learn from each other and build capacity for patient and public involvement in health research; to support the assessment of the impact of public involvement in health research on practice, policy and outcomes; to develop international standards and policies for patient and public involvement in health research
