Beyond the Meeting: Patient and Public Involvement Practices and Barriers to Inclusive Participation in Stroke Research
By Wyatt D, Rowland-Coomber S, Stevens E and 7 others.
Abstract
Background
Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) aims to embed patient perspectives in all aspects of health research. In stroke, where diverse impairments affect communication, cognition, and mobility, inclusive PPI is particularly critical yet challenging. Little is known about how stroke PPI is currently practised or what barriers researchers face in supporting the participation of stroke survivors with complex needs.
