Join our RSC PPIE Group

The  RSC PPIE Group is our growing network of people who want to learn about, influence and shape our public health work. Our network is open to anyone wanting to learn more about using health data for public benefit, and research looking at infectious diseases and respiratory conditions.  

What to expect if you sign up?

You will be contacted by email about opportunities to feedback on planned research or disease monitoring initiatives. Feedback opportunities may involve a 1-1 discussion or a group discussion.   

If you take part in our feedback sessions you can expect to meet other patients and members of the public, as well as researchers and other people experienced in this field.   

Here are some examples of our recent group discussion topics:  

  • Better understanding serious respiratory infections in the population using heath data. 

  • Improving the uptake of vaccinations  

  • Patients’ views on how we use data to support public health.  

Sometimes we may ask for your feedback on written summaries aimed at the public.  

We want people from many different backgrounds and would like to hear different opinions on our work. We only ask that you respect the views and opinions of others.  

Do you have lived experience of a respiratory illness?

We are also always looking for members of the public with lived experience of long-term respiratory conditions such as Asthma and COPD. This can help us in designing research that can best contribute to improving patient care.  

Would you like to become more involved in research projects?

We have occasional opportunities where members can become more involved in a planned or ongoing research project. This could include becoming a “public co-applicant" to act as a public representative on our projects, helping to coordinate a patient panel or joining a research project board team.
