Organisation: International Patient and Public Involvement Network

Who are we?
In 2017, a number of organisations and individuals from across the globe came together to form the International Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) Network. We believe that through the International PPI Network we can join together and enhance the opportunities such a network would bring, enabling the sharing of expertise and evidence-based good practice. Through collaboration, the International PPI Network would be empowered to influence international and regional health and social care research organisations.

How are we funded?
We are grateful for the financial support with start-up costs from the UK’s Department of Health and Social Care, and ongoing costs from the National Institute for Health and Care Research. We also acknowledge the in-kind contributions from:

• The COMET Initiative
  
  
• The University of Western Australia
  
  
• Telethon Kids Institute
  
  
• Babcock University
  
  
• University of Southern Denmark
  
  
• Warwick Medical School

The Planning Group was setup to formally establish the Network, including the associated governance structures, funding, strategies and work-streams. The Planning Group provides oversight of and advice on Network activities.

Note Richard Morley who is Cochrane’s Consumer Engagement Officer is allegedly supporting the new Exercise review, but has contributed precisely nothing to the process as far as I can tell, let alone any "Engagement".

Yeah, with him involved my basic assumption is that this is more a talking shop than anything that actually gets stuff done.
