title: Research essentials. Patient-public-engagement involving children and young people.
abstract: Central to the modernisation agenda in the UK, patient-public involvement (PPI) emphasises the involvement of service users and carers in all aspects of health care, from commissioning of services and service design to contributing to research agendas. This involvement is grounded in a desire to make health care more responsive to the needs of the patient and enhance the quality of care and treatments.
