Welcome to your world: designing your PPI project

The second of two online workshops on devising and designing successful PPI for researchers who are applying for Precision AMR seed funding. This workshop will help you plan PPI projects that are valuable, enjoyable, and unexpected; keeping the public, patients, and yourself, engaged in your work.

The workshop is led by Precision AMR PPI Coordinators; playwright and UCL Creative Fellow Nicola Baldwin, and patient engagement advocate Sue Lee, with an introduction by Professor Judith Breuer.

Antibiotic resistant infections are a major global threat to human health which has been accelerated by COVID. The Precision AMR award aims to address the barriers to combating AMR, and accelerate the development of diagnostic, behavioural, and interventional tools, and their early implementation into clinical practice.

Patient and public involvement is central to: breaking down barriers between research projects; improving communication; influencing clinical management; changing behaviours; understanding push and pull factors from patients and clinical managers that lead to AMR.

In May 2021 we will stage ‘Rise Of The Resistance’, a two-day festival of performance and public engagement on AMR in partnership with Bloomsbury Theatre. All seed funding recipients will automatically be allocated a slot at this festival to present your PPI project, and will also be expected to produce a short introductory video and a ‘3 Minute Thesis’.

Making Things Happen will help you to design projects that capture the imagination of patients and public, and provide valuable insights for your research; blog, video diary, podcast, online collaboration, public workshop, panel, exhibition, virtual installation, treasure hunt.

Schedule

10.00-11.00 Precision AMR Introduction and PPI planning workshop
11.00-12.00 Q&A with Nicola, Sue, and Professor Breuer

The workshop is free and open to all, with priority for Precision AMR applicants. Precision AMR has funding available for 20 seed research projects of £16,000. Projects in microbiology, bacteriology, fungal and behavioural work as well as data science (data linkage, artificial intelligence and machine learning will be prioritised.

We will be running further PPI workshops from November for successful applicants.
