Patient and Public Involvement in Research means research being carried out ‘with’ or ‘by’ members of the public rather than ‘to’, ‘about’ or ‘for’ them. Patient Public Involvement in Research Patient and public involvement is not about recruiting patients or members of the public as participants in research.
