Patient and Public Involvement
Our offer
Consulting
There are many ways for patients or their representatives and caregivers to be involved in clinical research. We help you to 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 agencies are requiring that the patient or patient representative perspective is considered throughout a clinical trial. For example, a comprehensive PPI plan is mandatory for a submission to the funding program "Investigator-initiated Trials (IICT)" of the Swiss National Science Foundation SNF. We help you to formulate a convincing 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 requests for further support measures.
