INVOLVEMENT
PPI means that research is being carried out WITH or BY members of the public, rather than TO, ABOUT or FOR them. It means active partnership of the patients and members of the public to plan, manage, design and carry out research. It means they no longer 'participate' in research - rather, they are involved as much as you are!
