In4kids and Patient Public Involvement (PPI)
At In4kids prioritising Public and Patient Involvement (PPI) is at the very heart of everything we do.
We believe the voices of young people and their families are crucial in shaping research and clinical trials and making it truly meaningful. That’s why we’re in the process of establishing two special groups: the Young Person’s Advisory Group and the Parents’/Carers’ Advisory Group.
Together with our amazing colleagues in Children’s Health Ireland (CHI), a new national Young Person’s Advisory Group (YPAG) is being established to provide a platform for children and young people to share their thoughts, ideas, and concerns about healthcare services and clinical research and trials that directly impact them. The voices of the young people will guide us in creating better experiences and outcomes for young patients.To find out more about the new national Young Persons’ Advisory Group (YPAG) just click here!
Similarly, the Parents’ Advisory Group will be a space for parents to contribute their invaluable insights. We know that as parents, you have firsthand knowledge of the challenges, needs, and aspirations of your children when it comes to healthcare. By actively involving you in our decision-making processes, we can better understand and address those needs.
No matter who you are or where you’re from, we want to hear from you!
Your voice will shape our initiatives, ensuring that they truly reflect the needs and aspirations of young people and families across Ireland. Together, let’s make a positive impact and lasting legacy on paediatric research and healthcare.
