Abstract: This paper argues that patient and public involvement (PPI) could make a valuable contribution to operational healthcare research, which involves testing new models of providing health services. The authors suggest that the arguments for PPI are ethical and economic as well as ensuring relevant outcomes for patients. They provide two case studies where PPI has contributed to developing and refining models of care. The potential benefits and barriers to PPI in operational research are discussed, and an outline approach to its implementation is proposed.
