Public Partnership Group (PPG) 

The School of Human and Health Sciences believes that the involvement of a wide range of people experienced in health and social care services is of great value to the education of its students. For a number of years it has been supported by a Public Partnership Group, made up of patients, service users and carers. Their stories and history of experiences can help students to understand the diverse needs and expectations of their client group. Their contributions also encourage students to develop the right values, knowledge and attitudes when supporting the public, ultimately putting each person at the centre of their care. Academics work alongside the Public Partnership Group, helping students to apply and relate theory and research to their practice. Learning in the School is therefore a joint endeavour, with patients, service users, carers, students, academics and practice colleagues working in partnership to achieve the goal of continuous improvement to care delivery.

Through their involvement in education and research, the Public Partnership Group are making a difference now, as well as influencing future health and social care.
