Service user involvement in the education of allied healthcare professionals in Ireland: a mixed-methods exploration
The need to educate all stakeholders about the potential for SUI beyond one-off contributions was highlighted. Additionally, engaged leadership is needed to facilitate the contextual integration of processes and procedures to embed the role of service users in higher education. Further investment is needed to advance SUI, which may require additional encouragement from funders, policy makers and regulators.
