Patient and public involvement in health research: A Nordic perspective

Patient and public involvement (PPI) in health research is of increasing interest internationally, as well as being a means to enhance the quality and relevance of research. PPI was one of the main themes and parallel sessions at The Nordic Health Research and Innovation Networks in Oslo in 2017. In this short comment/debate article, we outline some of the experiences from the event. Importantly, there are many common challenges. More collaboration across the borders could ensure a broader range of experience in the field and provide better ways of developing and evaluating PPI in health research.
