NIHR East of England Patient and Public Involvement Showcase – free event on16th June 2026

Discover how patients and the public have shaped health research for the better

To celebrate 20 years of the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR), teams from the East of England will be hosting a Patient and Public Involvement showcase.

Join for a first-of-its-kind collaborative regional event, where we will be celebrating Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) in health research and the role it has to play. Hear from researchers who are working directly with patients, the public and communities across the East of England to shape meaningful research.

This unique event includes:

• A panel discussion on the role PPI has in Tissue and Organ donation research
• Inspiring talks from researchers about their latest research and how PPI has had an impact on their study
• An interactive poster exhibition about current research happening throughout the East of England alongside a light lunch
• Networking opportunities with researchers, NIHR colleagues, research institutions and academics
• Meeting PPI representatives and discover opportunities to get involved in your local area
• Refreshments available throughout the day

This free event is open to patients, carers, members of the public, researchers, students and anyone who would like to understand how research can be shaped by the publics voice. This is a great opportunity to explore new innovative ideas, connect and learn more about health research.
