Public and practice involvement and engagement means actively involving people, including the public, service users, practitioners and communities, in shaping and contributing to research.
Public and practice involvement ensures that experiences and insights directly influence the planning, design, and outcomes of research, making research more relevant and meaningful.
Engagement focuses on building connections by sharing information in meaningful ways helping everyone to understand and interact with research or initiatives that may impact them.
Public and practice involvement and engagement both increase transparency and inclusivity in research.
