Improving palliative care through patient and public involvement
Guidance for patients, practitioners and researchers from the RE-EQUIPP Care Partnership: REducing inEQUalities through Integration of Primary and Palliative Care.
What is the RE-EQUIPP Care Partnership?
The RE-EQUIPP Care was funded by the NIHR in 2022, to bring together researchers, clinicians from primary care and palliative care, and patient and public involvement members from divsere backgrounds, in three areas: London, Yorkshire and Sussex.
The main aims of the partnership were
to develop new processes for research into how primary and palliative care services can work together (integrate) more effectively
to address inequalities in palliative care and to increase equity, equality, diversity and inclusion in patient and public involvement for palliative care research.
This website provides information and useful resources for PPI developed through the project.

What is Palliative Care?
Palliative care is a whole person approach to care that ensures patients and families experience the best quality of life possible. Palliative care is particularly relevant when people are dying, but can be a useful approach for anyone with an advanced illness.
What is Patient and Public Involvement?
Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) is the active involvement of patients and members of the public in research prioritisation, design, and processes. It aims to ensure that research is relevant, contextual, inclusive, and widely acceptable.
