Patient & Public Involvement in Clinical Research
Working Together to Shape Research
A partnership built on mutual trust and transparent communication forms the foundation for meaningful dialogue between researchers and those directly affected by research. The SCTO actively promotes this dialogue and advocates for the integration of patient and public involvement (PPI) in academic clinical research.
