Patient & Public Involvement (PPI)
What is the Role of the PPIE Working Group?
Our Patient & Public Inclusion & Engagement (PPIE) Working Group are responsible for providing feedback on the decisions and directions of each of the other 5 Working Groups, from their perspective as people with Parkinson’s and Care Partners. Their input is invaluable for ensuring the design remains focused on patient needs and can be successful in its goals.
