CardioThoracic Public Involvement Panel

Listed under Cardiovascular Medicine

Background

  • The Oxford Heart Centre team supports patients and their carers through all aspects of care from diagnosis and treatment, through to rehabilitation.
  • Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) contributors provide insights into living with heart disease and conditions through their “lived” experience.
  • PPI ensures that the Oxford Heart Centre care is more relevant to the needs of patients and their carers.

What we did

  • The Oxford Heart Centre has established the Cardiothoracic Public Involvement Panel (CTPIP) to improve services and celebrate successes.
  • The CTPIP has approximately 20 members, including the public, patients, carers and NHS staff.
  • Expenses are reimbursed and refreshments provided.
  • Meetings provide an opportunity to hear from clinical staff and researchers about the latest developments in the Oxford Heart Centre, and advances in heart disease treatment.
  • Public members join activities, such as walk-arounds of wards and senior staff reviews, providing feedback on patients’ needs, concerns and interests.

What difference did it make

CTPIP members:

  • Provide patient insight and feedback for academic and BRC/NIHR funded clinical research studies within the Oxford Heart Centre, reviewing lay summary research proposals, protocols, patient information leaflets and consent forms.
  • Participate in study project groups.
  • Contribute to production of new and revised patient information leaflets for the Oxford Heart Centre to reflect the views of patients.
  • Provide input into clinical area reviews for enhancing patient experience in the Oxford Heart Centre.
  • Provide a PPI perspective to projects at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (OUH).
  • Attend and contribute to OUH Public and Patient Forum meetings.
