Patient and Public Involvement

Patient and public involvement (PPI) is about working with the public to plan, improve and share research.

Partners in Research is the name of our PPI group.

The group is funded by the Chief Scientist Office and is led by Dr Rosie Ashworth.

Our main aim is to work together with people who live with neuroprogressive conditions, and with their loved ones. We also welcome members of the public and professionals, who have experience to share or an interest in the work the Neuroprogressive and Dementia Network do.

If you would like to find out more, please contact TAY.ppipartners@nhs.scot .

Our Partners in Research made a video about what it’s like being a part of the team!

Patient and public involvement does not involve taking part in a research study.
