A workshop run by People in Health West of England for researchers, health professionals and other staff involved in patient and public involvement, offering the opportunity to reflect on and improve the skills needed to facilitate meetings involving members of the public.

It’s aimed at those who are already running patient and public involvement (PPI) meetings and groups, and those who will soon be taking on this responsibility. It is also open to members of the public who are, or will be, facilitating involvement meetings. The workshop is not intended for members of the public who want to learn more about contributing to involvement meetings.

It will cover meeting arrangements and practicalities, setting ground rules and chairing skills, and establishing and maintaining co-chairing arrangements. The workshop will draw on the experiences of participants and provide an opportunity to share learning and ideas.

It will be facilitated by Dr Nicky Williams, Deputy Director, Research & Innovation, North Bristol NHS Trust and co-chair of the West of England Joint PPI Strategy Group, and Cathy Rice, Co-chair of the West of England Joint PPI Strategy Group and experienced public contributor. The workshop is also supported by other experienced members of the public who have contributed to different kinds of research meetings.
