A PPI Good Practice Handbook for UK Health Care Regulators
Who and what is the Handbook for?
The Handbook is for the staff and council members of the UK's regulators of health professionals. It is a practical guide for those who want to find out what Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) is and how to achieve it.
The PPI Group reviews the Handbook regularly so that it remains up to date and relevant.
The Handbook can be downloaded here.
What's in the handbook?
The Handbook explores the 'theory' and values underpinning PPI. It contains practical suggestions on when, and how, to achieve particular outcomes. Lists of PPI toolkits produced by other organisations and consultancy and training organisations are appended, as is a summary of the PPI mechanisms in the four UK countries. It also contains electronic links to reference documents and websites.
The Handbook is published in electronic format only.
Where did the information come from?
We have used existing information available on the Web. Much has been written about PPI and it is not our intention to reinvent the wheel. So, besides drawing the information together into a single source document, no new information has been developed in this work. Similarly, no guarantee can be given about the quality of information, organisations or services that are referenced in this Handbook.
