It is suggested that you approach this as a role play, where you talk to either one person or group of people – these may be colleagues, friends – if you want to talk to real patients, this may be possible but you will need to be mindful of ethical issues, so it is best to discuss this with your course leader.

You will need to include an explanation of the trial; why you want to involve them and how; details of how you will organise their involvement; the time commitment. You can also give them the opportunity to ask questions and record any discussion.

Aim for a recording lasting approximately 10 minutes. We also require an accurate transcript of the video discussion; aim for around 1000 words - this is only a guideline and can be more if need be.

Your Individual project II submission should include a title page containing:

• The words "Individual project II submission for PPI course - video transcript"
• Your UUN number (NOT your name)
• The words "University of Edinburgh 2015/16 Semester 2"
• The word count

Your submission should be around 1000 words in length - this is only a guideline and can be more if need be (Font 10-12. typed, single spacing fine).

Option 2: Poster

Prepare your poster using Powerpoint. The poster should provide both a clear, concise explanation about what the patient and public opportunity is for getting involved with the trial and also be visually appealing. Take care not to include too much text and make sure the language is easily understood by lay people.

You will need to include some information about:

• the trial
• who is conducting it
• what the patients/members of the public will be required to do and why
• what the time commitment is for them and where they find out more information.

Your Individual project II submission should include a title page containing:

• The words "Individual project II submission for PPI course - poster"
• Your UUN number (NOT your name)
• The words "University of Edinburgh 2015/16 Semester 2"
• The word count

Your submission should be no longer than 1000 words in length.
