It is easy to read and understand, and has plenty of practical ideas on how patients and public can become involved, engaged and empowered … Overall this book achieves its objective and if you are about to undertake PPI, I would recommend this toolkit as essential reading prior to embarking on that journey.” (British Journal of Cardiac Nursing, 1 November 2011)
