PPI2015 Assignment Specifications

5. Individual project II

Overview 

In this assignment, you have the opportunity to put your learning into practice in a different way. It assesses your skills in explaining patient and public involvement to lay people so that they will want to get involved in your research. You can choose either a verbal format in the form of a video, or a written/pictorial format in the form of a poster. For both options, choose a real life trial, either from your own practice or the published literature. This means you will be tailoring your video or poster to the requirements of a specific trial, rather than talking about general principles.

Details

You must complete one of these options

1. Video record yourself talking to a patient/member of the public (or a group of lay people) to explain patient and public involvement in a clinical trial, answering their questions and asking them to get involved.

OR

2. Create a poster to appeal to patients to come forward to advise on a clinical trial. This should include information about why you want them to help; what you want their advice on; how they can contribute (e.g. attending meetings, phone calls, email); how they can contact you.
