Pulmonary Rehabilitation Patient and Public Involvement (Pulmonary Powerhouse)
On this page:
Why is patient and public involvement (PPI) important?
PPI was identified in 1996 in “Consumers in NHS Research” (1996) and the NIHR INVOLVE group quickly evolved. This group promotes and supports PPI involvement in NHS, public health and social care research and development.
PPI gives individuals and communities the opportunity and influence to shape health and social care services and is part of the NHS Centre for Involvement.
As experts in research, we know that research which reflects the needs and views of the public is more likely to produce results that can be used to improve practice in health and social care.
Get involved
We hold meetings every eight weeks alternating between St John’s Therapy and St George’s Hospital. All existing members of the PPI group are invited but we welcome all new enquires for individuals who would like to join us.
If you are interested in joining the group or for further information, please contact the service on the Pulmonary.RehabSTG@stgeorges.nhs.uk or alternatively call on: 02087253016.
