Public Involvement and Engagement Group

The Fuse Public Involvement and Engagement Group (PIEG) focuses on enhancing the quality of the research undertaken within Fuse through promoting the depth and means of involvement of the public and communities.

The work of the PIEG includes acting as a resource to provide public involvement expertise to Fuse, developing links to wider networks of public involvement groups and liaising with other research bodies such as the NIHR School for Public Health Research (SPHR), the NIHR Applied Research Collaboration for North East and North Cumbria (ARC NENC) and Voluntary Organisations’ Network North East (VONNE).

The Group is co-chaired by Fuse public partner Victoria Bartle alongside Pamela Graham, Assistant Professor in Community Wellbeing at Northumbria University and Fuse Public Involvement and Engagement lead. Pamela provides overall leadership for public involvement and engagement within Fuse and the Centre’s membership of the NIHR School for Public Health Research.
