Consulting

There are many ways for patients or their representatives and caregivers to be involved in clinical research. We help you find out which "Patient and Public Involvement (PPI)" measures are best suited for your study and how they can be implemented. Our consulting services are free to all researchers.

Formulating PPI plans for funding requests

Increasingly, funding organizations require that the perspectives of patients or their representatives, as well as the public, are considered throughout the entire course of a clinical study. For example, a comprehensive PPI plan is mandatory for submissions to the "Investigator-initiated Clinical Trials (IICT)" funding program of the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF). We assist you in formulating a compelling PPI plan.

Support in the implementation of PPI activities

If necessary, we support you in the realisation of the planned PPI activities. In doing so, we can help establish contacts with patient organisations or other PPI representatives and organise meetings. 

We are open to your inquiries regarding additional support measures.
