Upcoming Events

Do you know that equality, diversity and inclusion matter in PPI, but aren’t sure where to start?
Have you ever wondered whether your PPI approach is genuinely inclusive, and what you could do to improve it?

You are warmly invited to a short webinar to launch a new, friendly guide to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) in Public and Patient Involvement (PPI). This has been developed by the Rare Disease Clinical Trial Network (RDCTN) and Health Research Charities Ireland (HRCI).

Date: 25 February
Time: 12pm – 1pm
Location: Online (Zoom webinar)
Register: https://ucd-ie.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_xESwYaK5R1yrArxfGaGwHw

Whether you are just starting out with PPI or looking to strengthen your approach, the guide offers clear, practical actions to help make involvement more inclusive. Co-created with people with lived experience, family members, charities and researchers, it draws on open discussion and shared learning from two dedicated workshops.

Inspired by the diverse rare disease community, the practical steps outlined in the guide apply across all areas of research. At the launch event, you’ll hear short reflections from researchers, patient partners and sector leaders, and take part in a shared conversation about how to move from intention to action in EDI and PPI.

If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Are we doing this well?” or “How could we do this better?”, this session is for you. We hope you can join us.
