COB-MS Public and Patient Involvement

Over recent decades, increasing importance has been placed on the role of public and patient involvement (PPI) in research. There has been a global effort by the patient community, researchers and clinicians to strengthen the meaningful involvement and engagement of service users, carers and members of the public in research. People with MS and carers, by virtue of their lived experience, can bring significant knowledge and expertise to the design and conduct of research studies. PPI is a key component of all stages of COB-MS.
