James Lind Alliance Priority Setting Partnerships: Involving patients to change research
2014 Conference
Abstract: This workshop will enable delegates to understand the principles of the James Lind Alliance (JLA) and the ways in which Priority Setting Partnerships (PSPs) are established and conducted in order to influence research agendas.
Presenters will explore the motivation of different organisations for running PSPs. The experience of clinicians and patients in the PSP process will be described and discussed.
- History and rationale of the JLA
- Unique features of PSPs and their impact upon participants and sponsors
- Specific examples of PSPs
– Hips and knees
– Mental health
– Spinal cord injuries - Clinician and patient experience of PSPs
- Using the outputs of PSPs for health research
As a result of attending this workshop delegates will be able to describe accurately to fellow patients and colleagues the opportunities that JLA PSPs offer.
To encourage discussion we will structure the latter part of the workshop by means of:
- small group discussion
- responding to materials or questions
- rotation of speakers with delegates
- posing direct questions to delegates
- recording questions for the future development of PSPs
