This document provides guidance on effective patient and public involvement (PPI) in research. It discusses what PPI is, who can be involved, and how to avoid tokenistic involvement. PPI refers to actively working with patients, caregivers and the public to plan, conduct and disseminate research. Effective PPI ensures research questions reflect patient priorities, methods are appropriate, and findings are disseminated to lay audiences. The document provides examples of how patients can be involved at different stages of the research process and urges researchers to meaningfully incorporate PPI in grant applications.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)
Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Overview of Workshop
• Understand what effective Patient and Public Involvement
(PPI) is and is not in the context of research
• Identify how patients and the public can be involved at
each stage of the research cycle
• Consider ways of building PPI into RfPB grant applications
3. 3
Biomedical Research Centre at Guy’s and
St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College London
What is PPI?
• Actively working in partnership with patients and members
of the public to plan, manage, design and carry out
research
• “Research being carried out ‘with’ or ‘by’ members of the
public rather than ‘to’, ‘about’ or ‘for’ them”.
INVOLVE
• Distinct from participation (e.g. recruiting patients to
clinical trials)

Effective PPI
• Ensuring research questions reflect the needs and
priorities of patients and the public
• Ensuring methods and procedures are feasible and
appropriate
• Ensuring information is relevant and accessible to
those being recruited to the study
• Identifying dissemination channels relevant to
patients/the public and developing outputs that are
accessible to a lay audience
8. 8
Biomedical Research Centre at Guy’s and
St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College London
• Treating PPI as a tick box exercise
• Being closed to patient/public perspectives
• Not following up with patients and the public after they
have been involved
• PPI plans that are bolted-on to a study with no clear
rationale
Tokenistic involvement

• Identifying and prioritising: meeting to decide on an evaluation strategy for a
project designed to support people with cancer to return to work.
• Commissioning: sitting on NIHR panels and reviewing funding applications.
• Designing and managing: researchers coming to the Stroke family group to get
patients’ feedback on their projects, i.e. the stroke services re-configuration study.
Drafting plain English summaries.
• Undertaking: Patient-researcher carrying out semi-structured interviews with
patients, using interview guides
Examples

Biomedical Research Centre at Guy’s and
St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and King’s College London
• Disseminating: co-authoring and presenting posters
at conferences; contributing comments on
presentation drafts; co-presenting to academic
audiences.
• Implementing: patients-members of the Stroke group
involved in rolling out of re-configuration at a second
hospital in Manchester.
• Monitoring and evaluating: interviews with
patient/public members and research staff to gather
views on the impact of PPI and what could be done to
improve PPI.
Examples continued
12. “No matter how complicated the research, or how brilliant the
researcher, patients and the public always offer unique,
invaluable insights. Their advice when designing,
implementing and evaluating research invariably makes
studies more effective, more credible and often more cost
effective”.
Professor Dame Sally Davies
Chief Medical Officer for England, and previously
Director General of Research and Development and Chief Scientific Adviser for the
DH and NHS in the United Kingdom
PPI: Why do it?
15. Chief Medical Officer (CMO),
Professor Dame Sally Davies',
response to 'Going the Extra
Mile.'
'Having reviewed the report's
recommendations, I am content
that the NIHR commits to
taking them forward…You have
made clear your view that
patients, carers and the public
must remain at the centre of the
NIHR end-to-end research
process to ensure that we
commission research that makes
a difference.’
16. Why do PPI?
o Experiential knowledge:
Patients or carers have knowledge and perspectives that
clinicians and researchers don’t.
o Ethical and moral reasons:
Patients and the public are directly affected by the research
process and findings. They have the right to contribute to it. They
are the tax payers.
o Pragmatic reasons:
‘PPI’ is a requirement for funding bodies.
It can help you with overcoming barriers such as those to
successful recruitment and retention across the population of
interest.
6
17. Why are researchers involving patients?
- Some popular motivations
• Funding bodies require it – NIHR, Research for Patient Benefit,
Medical Research Charities.
“It is anticipated that for many …projects, there will be a particularly
significant component of public involvement” – RfPB guidance
notes
• Help with patient-facing documents (patient information sheets,
posters)
• Help with recruitment
18. The NIHR and PPI insight
o The NIHR is plugged into and works closely with INVOLVE
o Use Lay reviewers
o Lay involvement in commissioning the call
o James Lind Alliance and Portfolio work priorities research
o There's PPI in the NIHR structures itself
o PPI managers for the CCF and NETSCC
o Each of the NIHR funding streams:
Research for Patient Benefit (RfPB)
Programme Grants for Applied Research Grants (PGfAR)
Invention for innovation (i4i)
Health Technology Assessment (HTA)
Health Services & Delivery Research (HS&DR)
Efficacy & Mechanisms Evaluation (EME)
Public Health Research (PHR)
18
Ask for active
PPI and lay
members help
develop the
PPI guidelines
19. NIHR Research Programmes
and PPI
Weaknesses identified in previous RfPB applications:
• Not enough detail about lay involvement (too general).
• No public involvement in developing the proposal. Most
described future plans for involvement rather than at
development stage.
• Not budgeting adequately (or at all) for PPI.
• The quality of the lay summary. Avoid use of “quotation marks”
for scientific terms
20. NIHR Research Programmes
and PPI
e.g. RfPB
Examples of good practice:
• Involved patients in the early development of the proposal
• Had equal steering group representation for professionals and lay
people
• Involved service users in designing questionnaires and topic guides,
conducting interviews and focus groups, reviewing transcripts and
contributing to interpretation and preparing patient information.
• Arranged for participants to be informed of research findings
• Involved patient groups and charities in disseminating the findings
among patients and service users.
22. Co-Producing Plain English
Summaries (PES)
• The recommended use of plain English is not
new (e.g. the old ‘Lay Summaries’)
• A good quality Plain English Summary is a new
requirement for funding (e.g. NIHR)
• “It is helpful to involve patients/ carers/members
of the public in developing a plain English
summary.” (p.7. RfPB guidance, comp.33)
23. NIHR Plain English Summaries
• The plain English summary is not the same as a scientific
abstract – please do not cut and paste this or other sections
of your application form to create the plain English summary.
• “If we feel that your plain English summary is not clear
and of a good quality then you may be required to amend
your summary prior to final funding approval” (RfPB
Guidance)
• Variation in maximum word/ character counts from NIHR
funders
RfPB = 300 words for PES
24. Top tips
• Use everyday English whenever possible
• Always explain any medical terms you
have to use – lay terms first (medical
word second)
• Use active verbs i.e. ‘we will do it’ rather
than ‘it will be done by us’
• Be concise
• Always check your writing and read it out
loud
25. Top tips
• Bigger words are not always better
• What does the reader need to know?
• In limited text space you may need to
prioritise
• Keep asking the question ‘which
means…….’ until you can not condense it
any more
26. NIHR Guidance: What to include in
PES
Aim(s) of the research • What are you aiming to find out?
• How will patients / carers / members of the public
and services benefit from your research - either
directly or in the longer term?
Background to the
research
• Why does this research need to be done now?
• What is the scale of the issue? For example:
o How many patients / members of the public
are affected?
o What are the costs to services?
Design and methods
used
• What design and methods have you chosen
and why?
• Who are your participants? (if appropriate)
Patient and public
involvement
• How have patients / the public been
involved in developing this research to
date?
• How will patients / the public be involved in
the conduct / management of the research?
Dissemination • Who will the findings be communicated to
27. Reviewing an NIHR Plain
English Summary
• The NIHR plain English summary is
intended for an interested audience,
who are not necessarily specialists
• The summary should be written at
roughly the same level as an article in a
newspaper
28. Reviewing an NIHR Plain
English Summary
1) Did the plain English summary give a clear explanation
of the research?
I. Did it help you carry out your review? If not, why
not?
II. Was the language used appropriate and clear? If
not, where were there problems?
III. Were scientific terms, abbreviations and jargon
explained? If not, which terms need explanation?
1) If this research is funded, the plain English summary
will be published on a variety of websites, without the
rest of this application form. Could this plain English
summary be used on its own to describe the proposed
research? If not, what further information is needed?

Practical planning for effective PPI
Start planning and preparing early on. Consider:
•Why and how you want to involve patients/the public - what will
their perspective add?
•Who do you think is best placed to provide the perspective you
are looking for, and where will you find them?
•What are the needs and expectations of those who will be
involved (e.g. support and training, role description, time
commitment, recognition..)
•What are the practicalities (e.g. means of communication, format
of activities, location and timing of meetings...)
•How will you feedback to them at the end of the project?

Editor's Notes
The adequacy of lay involvement can only be judged if the nature and extent of the anticipated involvement is made clear. Vague generalities can be construed as lack of provision.
The majority described future plans for involvement. Real PPI begins at the development stage.
Cutting and pasting paragraphs of technical prose does not constitute a lay summary. Putting scientific terms in quotation marks fails to make them instantly understandable to the lay reader. Some proposals made successful attempts at plain English. Many did not.
Core PES-NIHR; Note: Link PES to the old ‘Lay’ summaries but emphasise that the NIHR will no longer use the term ‘Lay Summary’
This quote is well received by advisers, advised to retain in presentation in event of needing to shorten presentation.
Core PES-NIHR; Note: Link PES to the old ‘Lay’ summaries but emphasise that the NIHR will no longer use the term ‘Lay Summary’
This quote is well received by advisers, advised to retain in presentation in event of needing to shorten presentation.
Core both
Core both; If you ask ‘which means’ you will be able to avoid elaborate, flowery language. For example ‘In an increasingly competitive field, securing funding for your health and social care research proposal can be challenging’ , which means ‘securing funding for health and social care research can be very competitive’ . Some sentences would benefit from using the ‘which means’ question more than once to really get to the point.
Another example – ‘for help in planning your application to Programme Grants, please note that consultative advice on research methodology and comments on draft proposals are available from the Research Design Service (RDS) which is based in ten regions across England. If we then ask ‘which means……’ we might come up with ‘Your local Research Design Service can help you to plan your application to Programme Grants’
Core PES-NIHR; GROUP EXERCISE: [Give this printout to group] Ask groups to rewrite parts of a PES example (they should have been provided with the full bid prior to the workshop). Try to get each group to work on one of the suggested sections in table above. Bring the reworked parts together to form a re-written summary to use for the review exercise which will follow.
Core PES-NIHR; GROUP EXERCISE: The following two slides are guidance notes given to peer and lay reviewers. Use these two slides to encourage participants to review the combined/reformed new summary in conjunction with the sample peer/lay reviewer form (to be provided before workshop)
Core PES-NIHR; Note: (A busy slide, but can be left up while the participants carry out the review) GROUP EXERCISE: Have groups or whole groups assess the new reformed PES using these guidelines in conjunction with the peer/lay reviewer form.
