National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR) Webinar Series. The Structured Health Intervention For Truckers (SHIFT) – embedding PPIE from programme conception to implementation.
Professor Stacy Clemes, Professor of Active Living and Public Health at Loughborough University will be presenting at an upcoming NIHR webinar series on “The Structured Health Intervention For Truckers (SHIFT) – embedding PPIE from programme conception to implementation”
Stacy will describe how her and colleagues have embedded Patient and Public Involvement (PPIE) throughout their research to implementation journey for the Structured Health Intervention For Truckers (SHIFT) programme.
Stacy will begin the session describing how the initial idea, and need, for this research came from health and safety personnel working within logistics and transport. She will describe the initial developmental work, conducted with drivers and industry stakeholders, followed by the feasibility testing and subsequent refinement of the programme.
Stacy will then talk about PPIE involvement during the planning of their NIHR PHR Project Grant application, and extensive PPIE involvement throughout the grant. After summarising the key findings of her NIHR PHR grant, Stacy will conclude the session by talking about her current work, in collaboration with logistics partners and key stakeholders which has seen the translation and scaling up of the SHIFT programme into a DVSA-approved driver training module. Stacy will talk about the findings to date, or their PPIE-informed implementation evaluation of the SHIFT module/module component.
What is the webinar series about?
Patient and public involvement is a prerequisite for all research funded by NIHR. It can enhance the relevance and quality of research and help build trust in the research and its outcomes. But how do we do it effectively? What lessons can we learn from when things didn’t go as well as intended? And how do the UK public involvement standards find expression in practice?
This webinar series draws on the experiences of public contributors and researchers; it will showcase examples of patient and public involvement in NIHR funded research.
When is it taking place?
The webinar will take place on January 29th 2025 at 11am and will be delivered online. Register your place.
