Another fantastic case study coming from @UCD_PPI_Ignite seed funding, working to widen the diversity and involvement in research of adults living with intellectual disabilities.
UCD worked with @StMichaelsHouse to support adults with an intellectual disability to develop a solid understanding of what #research entails & of their roles as co-researchers.#PPI This work was supported by a @PPI_Ignite_Net @ UCD seed funding award. 📽️youtu.be/B-ctO7L8Ty8?si…

Check out this great blogpost on the central role of #PPI in the @hrbireland-funded @SYNERG_IE programme! @SjogrensIrl @RCSI_PPI_Ignite @PPI_Ignite_Net
“PPI is central to SYNERG-IE, as our programme aims to co-create solutions with people living with Sjögren’s, ensuring that their lived experiences directly shape research priorities, methodologies, and outcomes.” – Gráinne Tynan Read about it here: shorturl.at/6WRWI
PPI Seed funding @UCD_PPI_Ignite makes a real impact. Check out this video on a partnership between @ABIIreland and @ICCCTN. @hrbireland @Researchirel @hrci

Setting up a PPI panel? Well worth a read. @hrbireland @CURAMdevices @Researchirel
Fantastic blog post by Gráinne Tynan, patient researcher on the @SYNERG_IE team, sharing details on how their PPI panel was established and how they collaborate. Really useful info for anyone setting up a PPI panel!
Comhgairdeas morning, huge congrats to Prof Andrew Murphy on the @hrbireland Impact 2025 award. @pmrycaretrials1 led the way in #ppi in early days and continued with @LindAlliance priority setting work recently. @uniofgalway @PPI_Galway
Prof Andrew Murphy @UniofGalway, received the HRB Impact Award 2025 at #HRBGHConf25 last night. The independent panel described his body of work as having an ‘exceptional influence on policy and practice in the Irish healthcare system’ bit.ly/42PRlY6 #HRBImpactaward
Looking forward to hearing the outcome of this evaluation. With rapid and welcome expansion of PPI across Ireland, it is timely to ask "how are we doing" at individual project/programme level, for us all to learn @PPI_Ignite_TCD @padraigc96 @PPI_Galway @Researchirel @hrbireland
TeamUp for Dementia Research is being evaluated! This service from @alzheimersocirl plays a profound role in the #DementiaResearch landscape and we are thrilled to support @UCC on the evaluation advisory panel as Person Public Involvement (#PPI) Contributors.

Dementia Research Advisory Team member Kevin points out that being a #PPI Contributor means using your lived experience to work alongside researchers as a collaborator but that it is also an opportunity to learn - from the work, the researcher and from each other.
As a young caregiver for her Mom, Claire rarely saw herself reflected in the experiences and services around her. Now as a Dementia Research Advisory Team member and #PPI Contributor, Claire channels her personal experience of dementia to drive research with real world impact.
