About the trainer
Amy Rebane is the Patient and Public Involvement/Engagement (PPIE) Manager for the NIHR Leeds Biomedical Research Centre (BRC), she also supports PPIE across the NIHR@Leeds partnership. Amy’s role focuses on supporting researchers to carry-out PPIE in their research and research development, ensuring that best practice is met and patient benefit is clearly defined. Prior to working at the BRC, Amy worked in a voluntary sector user-led organisation with a commitment to the Social Model of Disability for ten years. PPI in this sense focused on the evaluation and improvement of health and social care services to ensure patient need was met. It also included a social research element, looking into the specific needs of often under-represented patient groups, and ensuring their first-hand experiences were heard in the implementation and improvement of health and social care services.
