Public and Community Involvement & Engagement events across Greater Manchester, hosted by our PCIE Team and Forum.
Our vision is to ensure that public voices and our communities are at the heart of our research. We promote a culture of inclusion that actively seeks and involves people with diverse experiences and opinions and reflect these in our research and decision-making.
Part of our PCIE strategy is to engage with Greater Manchester communities, especially diverse and seldom heard communities fostering community led approaches asking for feedback to ensure our research considers their needs and preferences.
In a series of both online and face to face events, we aim to provide opportunities for the communities of Greater Manchester to connect and maximise inclusive participation.
