The PPI for Statisticians Community of Practice (CoP) is an initiative that aims to bring together statisticians who are interested in patient and public involvement to:
· Share experiences for others to learn from
· Share resources
· Increase collaboration
This will be achieved through having an at least bi-monthly online seminar series, a dedicated online space to share resources, blogs and recorded seminars, and a mailing list to share relevant events/training courses. Over time we would like to apply for funding to develop the activities of the community.
You can watch recordings of our PPI Statisticians Community of Practice seminars here:

If you would like to be involved in this community – please sign up to our mailing list below.
This list will be used to send seminar invites and to share other relevant events – don’t worry we won’t spam you!
We welcome statisticians at any career stage, working in any sector, no matter where they are based. We just ask for a willingness to learn and share experiences in a friendly and inclusive manner. We will share details of our online space, once this is set up.
We also have a LinkedIn group for sharing resources.
