This workshop is for researchers, health professionals/other staff who are running patient and public involvement (PPI) meetings and groups (and those who will soon be taking on this responsibility). The training is also open to members of the public who are, or will be, facilitating public involvement meetings. The workshop is not intended for members of the public who want to learn more about contributing to involvement meetings.  

This workshop offers the opportunity to reflect on and improve the skills needed to facilitate meetings involving members of the public. It will cover:

• meeting arrangements and practicalities;
• setting ground rules and chairing skills;
• establishing and maintaining co-chairing arrangements
• facilitating meetings online.

The workshop will draw on the experiences of participants and provide an opportunity to share learning and ideas.

It will be facilitated by Rosie Davies (Research Fellow, People in Health West of England) and Sandra Tweddell a public contributor.  

The workshop is free.

The workshop will take place online through Zoom.  To register use this link.
