In this workshop, we want to focus on learning from each other through engaging discussions.

Specifically, you will be able to choose from the following topics:
1) Patient and public involvement for beginners (SAMKA recommendations: https://www.samka.se/material)
2) How to facilitate patient advisory councils?
3) Informal caregivers' perspective(s): Why are they missed? What are the barriers?
4) Communication/negotiation between researchers and patient/carer-representatives
5) Involving people with lived experience in healthcare research: Why? & What are best practices?
6) Guidance for public involvement from various countries (Are you already an expert in PPI? Help us expand a resource library we have started! Please bring a laptop!)
7) Any other potentially emerging topic.
