Abstract
Background: Patient and public involvement (PPI) in the research process is a key feature of
NHS Research and Development policy but reporting of the extent and value of PPI in relation to
physiotherapy research is lacking.
Aims: To determine whether the proposed methodology within the randomized controlled trial aspect
of the SELF study was acceptable to patients and to ascertain whether enhancements could be made
in relation to elements that matter most to patients.
Methods: A focus group discussion was undertaken with four lay people who were currently attending
physiotherapy. The data was transcribed verbatim and analysed using the framework method.
Findings: The lay members found the proposals to be generally acceptable but were able to suggest
enhancements to the SELF study’s design relating to recruitment, retention, blinding, and acceptability
of the intervention. Additionally, we were able to recruit lay members to the trial steering committee.
Conclusion: The unique perspective offered by PPI has resulted in enhancements to the SELF study’s
design and a means of maintaining PPI throughout the conduct of the SELF study has been established.
