Great thread from @marionkcampbell.bsky.social, here’s hoping this becomes mandatory as it’s an ethical imperative.👇 The COVID Voices approach to sharing results, I personally won’t participate in research that doesn’t offer to share results, why would anyone? blogs.manchester.ac.uk/centre-for-e...

Interesting question Lynn, especially when public involvement is one-off and/or online - which makes it hard to know who people are (or even if the people attending are the same people who booked). But I'd be interested to know why people would want to do this - certainly not for money or fame!

Interesting responses to @lynnlaidlaw.bsky.social's question. Are 'imposter' public contributors something we need to worry about, especially when #PublicInvolvement is one-off/online? Or is the trust element too important to risk asking people to prove their lived experience? #PPI

We have been discussing this at Institute Mental Health. It’s tricky - Patient & Public Involvement is about building trusted relationship betw members & academic researchers - but if that’s founded on misinformation…

I am aware that there has been papers and talk recently about “imposter” qualitative research participants. This is probably a controversial question but is anyone seeing the same issues in people applying to be patient and public partners in research? Any strategies to deal with this? #PPIE

When it comes to co-production I often feel quite protective of how it is described, but it’s from a place of wanting people and organisations to be honest about how they work with people. It’s often thrown about to mean something it isn’t, which makes building trust and relationships harder.

This is a hot topic in #Switzerland. It's difficult to get proper contracts & ethical+sustainable remuneration. We #patientpartners #PPIR are trying very hard to get this recognised. Expliciting roles & tasks is very important: a junior #patientpartner does not know/do everything a senior does.

The nature of roles and how payment guidelines are interpreted can often be left to the discretion of research budget holders and research teams, despite guidelines providing differentiation between types of role and activity. Consistency is so important!

🌟 blog and paper. I can relate to the issues as a public contributor and also occasional PPI lead. Involvement isn’t a method, it’s about relationships not toolkits and frameworks. PPIE leads and public contributors are powerless within existing research culture that doesn’t see the need for change
