Thought question 2

Consider the the claims by Ives et al below and critically appraise one. Explain your view.

  1. A fully democratic, cooperative model of patient and public involvement is an ideal that can never truly flourish, because the concept is not internally coherent.
  2. Once a patient or member of the public undergoes training, and becomes familiar enough with research to be substantially involved, their ‘lay’ status is compromised.

We look forward to your thoughts!
