Training for researchers

This page contains everything you’ll need to plan and run a training session for researchers about involvement. Thanks to everyone who helped to put this together.

There’s a separate page with some alternative case studies you can use in the training, if you don’t have case studies of your own.

Our training for researchers – TEMPLATE AND SUPPORTING NOTES

Uploaded: 1st May 2018 | Topic: Training for researchers

Resource was added by: Bec Hanley

This template (and the accompanying slides and resources, which are also available to download from this page) aims to help you to run a half day training session for researchers about PPI. It has been updated several times, most recently in September 2019, following reviews by members who have used it.
The template and accompanying slides and resources have been developed by Charities Research Involvement Group members, in partnership with patients and carers. It is the property of the Charities Research Involvement Group and is free for CRIG members to use.
Please adapt it as you see fit, especially by using case studies that are relevant to your charity and by using your charity's branding on the slides and handouts. Note that there is an alternative version for session 4, which is used by Versus Arthritis - slides are available to download on this page.
PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THIS TEMPLATE OR THE ACCOMPANYING SLIDES AND RESOURCES WITH ANYONE OUTSIDE THE CRIG, UNLESS THEY ARE RUNNING THE TRAINING WITH YOU. Contact Bec if you have a query about this.
Please let us know how you are using this template and how useful you found it by completing the survey in the resources document (resource 6.2). This will allow us to improve the template and resources over time.

Our training for researchers – alternative version of session 4 (on communicating)

Uploaded: 1st May 2018 | Topic: Training for researchers

Resource was added by: Bec Hanley

This is another option to look at when you're planning the training - Arthritis Research UK run a longer session on communicating, and they focus on writing in plain English. Thanks to Chris Macdonald for sharing the slides they use.
Because of the size of this file this is a pdf. If you'd like the PowerPoint version please contact Bec or Chris.
