Patient & Public Involvement & Engagement
Our aim is to enable and empower patients, carers and the public to contribute to research in a way that they feel most confident. To do this we need to support research staff to carry out high quality patient & public involvement in the delivery of NIHR research.
The NIHR's mission is to improve the health and wealth of the nation. Patients, carers and the public are integral to the way we do this. In CRN East of England we feel that, just as research should be embedded across the NHS and social care, so too should patient and public involvement.
Current Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) Initiatives

Gathering feedback from research participants around the region via the 'Participant in Research Experience Survey', (formerly known as the Patient Research Experience Survey) and patient stories
