The Patient and public involvement Intervention to enhance Recruitment and Retention in Surgical Trials (PIRRIST) project, led by Dr Joanna Crocker, recently launched its PPI guidance for Chief Investigators of surgical trials.
This guidance is based on the findings of the four-stage PIRRIST project, feedback from surgical trial staff and PPI contributors at dissemination events across the UK, and consultation and user testing with a wide range of potential users.
Although it was developed for UK-based surgical trials, it is applicable to any type of UK-based clinical trial.
The guidance is free and available to download from the project website: www.phc.ox.ac.uk/pirrist
