Info

Since October 2009, many organizations and community groups have been successfully trained or supported by Patient Public Involvement Solutions, including over 50 of the 150 LINks nationally.

Over that time, we have also developed new materials and learning sets in response to requests from clients who have approached us with particular learning and training needs. Taking time to understand the needs of particular communities and organizations, and working with them to provide the learning and training solutions to help them move forward, is an area of work that PPI Solutions is particularly pleased to have developed. And our feedback from you shows that the learning materials and workshops we develop to meet your needs are interesting, stimulating and enjoyable and that you would recommend them to others without hesitation.

The range of training sessions and learning workshops we provide are varied and as an example include:

We know from experience that often, the solution needed is not somehting 'off the shelf' as organizations have particular areas for development that are influenced by local issues. We are pleased to be able to offer our expertise and knowledge to work with you, to find the right solutions for your needs, whether this is something 'off the shelf' or something that needs a tailored aspect or intervention to 'make it real' to you and your community.

Here are the geographic locations of the LINks to whom we have provided training.

Here are some of the comments people made about the content of their training day.

“Enjoyable, memorable; with paperwork worth keeping for general reference”

“Opens up one much needed "way forward". Well worth use of day.”

“Quality of training would be valuable to others”

“Everything was clearly explained and every aspect made easy”

“The overall presentation was first class and the slides/presentation were good”

“Very comprehensive, varied and enjoyable. Helpful to understand Enter and View and gain appreciation of how LINKs/OSC could work together in a complementary manner”

“The booklet and handouts were very good. The trainer was extremely good; she handled the material and the course participants with focus on sensitivity”

“I particularly liked the opportunity and willingness of the speaker to widen the discussion on issues where this was currently necessary”

“After today, I do have a much better idea of the scope and the potential of the LINKs. I look forward to the Community Engagement training day later on this month. It strikes me that quite a bit of the information given on this course would be relevant to all sorts of community organisations”
