This is part of a series of ARC national events on PPI research organised with @penarc.bsky.social @arceastofengland.bsky.social arc-eoe.nihr.ac.uk/importance-p... #PPI #PublicInvolvement

Stan Papoulias, PPI research theme lead at NIHR ARC South London is welcoming people to the webinar which they will chair and which will be facilitated by Elspeth Mathie, theme lead of Inclusive Involvement in Research at @arceastofengland.bsky.social #PPI #PublicInvolvement

Naomi Morley @arceastofengland.bsky.social says that the researchers defined 'sensitive topics' as those that “evoke strong emotions, controversy, or discomfort due to personal, societal or cultural implications” and may involve harm, stigma or legal threats #PPI #PublicInvolvement

Julia Burton @arceastofengland.bsky.social references William Wordsworth’s definition of poetry as "the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity" as being highly relevant to emotions in #PPI #PublicInvolvement

Lauren Asare @arceastofengland.bsky.social says the idea for the conceptual review came about after an experience of high emotions during a PPI meeting and the realisation that emotions can shape the context around research and strengthen the impact of what was said. #PPI #PublicInvolvement

#PublicInvolvement in #research often overlooks people with learning disabilities & autism, leaving their health needs unmet. To address this, @arceastofengland.bsky.social & 2 MENCAPs are working together to develop effective engagement methods, like events. 🔗 arc-eoe.nihr.ac.uk/news-blogs/b...
