Public Participation Theme

Public Participation Theme 

Leads: Megan Clinch and Alison Thomson 

Deputy: Nia Otake John, Jane Rigney

The Public Participation theme leads the development of research-informed, institution-wide approaches to public, patient and community participation across the WIPH. We strengthen the structures, practices and governance that enable meaningful involvement and engagement in research and education. Our work includes widening opportunities for participation, supporting staff and researchers, improving systems for ethics, payment and recognition, and embedding public contributions in decision-making. Grounded in partnership and informed by research, the Theme helps shape how high-quality public participation is developed and sustained across WIPH and QMUL.
