Our Public Partnership Advisory Group (PPAG) brings together public contributors from across our research themes, along with representatives from community organisations. This group has been central to the development of our vision and is a key part of our BRC governance.

The powerful voices brought by members of the PPAG have already challenged us to move beyond single long-term condition (LTC) research, to address the complexity and impact of additional diagnoses. Their ongoing involvement will be vital to ensuring delivery of our strategic plan.

Our PPAG is currently up to capacity but we do have other PPIE opportunities you can get involved in, please use this form to tell us more about what interests you.

 

What do PPAG members do?

The following are some of the main activities of our PPAG members:

  • Provide feedback on patient/public/caregiver needs, concerns and interests, to support the research priorities of the Newcastle BRC
  • Assist researchers by providing feedback on research funding proposal ideas
  • Steer communication activities to ensure they meet the needs of a patient/public audience
  • Monitor progress on National PPIE Standards
  • Attend appropriate events and conferences as patient/public representatives to represent the Newcastle BRC
  • Respond to ad hoc requests from the Newcastle BRC team for additional advice and support
