Abstract:

This paper describes a case study in which an academic-led idea for a patient and public involvement (PPI) research project was not supported by stroke survivors and carers who were involved at the bid development stage. Although the idea was supported by health professionals, the stroke survivors and carers did not think it was worth pursuing. This led to the project being abandoned. The authors conclude that this meant that public money was not wasted on research that would not have been considered useful, an important benefit of PPI.
