Involvement of underserved 18–40 year olds living with early-onset type 2 diabetes in the M3 NIHR programme grant
Tips for good practice in public involvement of young adults were derived. (1) Build collaborative team culture. (2) Open and honest reflective communication. (3) Communicate team responsibilities clearly. (4) Plan involvement with public contributors. (5) Embed public involvement early in the project. (6) Assess resource requirements realistically. (7) Gain support and engagement from clinical teams. (8) Be flexible, offering a range of ways to get involved. (9) Include contingency and risk planning as part of public involvement planning. (10) Provide training in public involvement, cultural competence, and contingency and risk planning. (11) Develop policies and procedures that support public involvement. The reflection also afforded some insight into facilitators of academic engagement in delivery of public involvement activities.
