Science for tomorrow's neurosurgery: Patient & Public Involvement (PPI) group
We are actively involving patients and carers to make our research on next generation neurosurgery more relevant and impactful. Early February 2022, our research scientists from King’s College London and King’s College Hospital organised a Patient and Public Involvement (PPI) meeting with support from The Brain Tumour Charity.
It was a pleasure to take part in conversations between patients and carers and researchers about developments in brain tumour surgery. Valuable insights was captured into the importance of communication, trust of AI and patient priorities.
Thanks to freelance artist Jenny Leonard for the live scribe of the conversation.
