The Regional HSC PPI Forum members consist of service users, carers, representatives from the community/voluntary sector and staff from each HSC organisation. The purpose of the Forum is to aid in the development and application of the PPI Action Plan. The Forum also provides strategic leadership and advice to help shape, guide and deliver PPI regionally across all HSC organisations. Through the Forum, the PHA has taken the lead on integrating PPI into HSC culture and practice. Examples of this include the Co-Production of:
The Regional Standards for PPI - a set of five standards outlining what is expected from HSC organisations and staff in relation to PPI
Regional monitoring arrangements for PPI – to ensure all Trusts are fulfilling their PPI obligations
Engage and Involve – a PPI training programme for the public and HSC staff
