Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement strategy

We can’t tackle the health challenges facing our communities without working in partnership with patients, carers and communities. That’s why at UCLPartners, we see Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) as core part of the work we do.

Our vision

Our vision is that all health innovation happening at UCLPartners is strengthened by embedding purpose-driven involvement and engagement of patients, carers and communities into our work.

We will work equitably with those impacted by the health challenges we are tackling to meaningfully inform and shape what we’re doing and how we do it.

Our PPIE strategy

To achieve our vision we need to create an environment that supports partnerships between staff, patients, carers and communities.

Co-produced by members of our Patient, Carer and Public Advisory Panel, UCLPartners staff and our PPIE team, our strategy outlines the next steps on our journey to create this environment.
