Avoiding tokenism - supporting meaningful PPI (for researchers)

Researchers are routinely advised to avoid 'tokenism' or 'tickbox' PPIE - but what kinds of attitudes, approaches, actions and activities make public contributors feel like they're a box being ticked, rather than being valued for their contributions and experience?

Hear from public contributors in their own words, what makes them feel valued and what makes them feel as though their time is being wasted.

We explore common themes that create negative experiences for public contributors - as well as looking at practical ways to ensure that PPIE is a meaningful and positive experience for all involved.
