This page shows how public voices shape the Wessex SDE. We share the patient and public involvement and engagement (PPIE) work we do, the ideas and insights that we create together – and how we act on them. Here you can access reports, evidence, and practical resources to start your own conversations.
Our ‘Actions to Build Trust’ table shows all recommendations made to the SDE and how we are responding. It is updated regularly and provides a transparent record of progress, decisions, and learning. You can download the latest version below.
We aim to act on every recommendation or its intent. If a recommendation cannot be done for any reason, we explain why and describe any alternatives.
We publish quarterly summaries of our PPIE activity for transparency. Activity varies across the year because we only undertake engagement where it adds value, responds to need, and uses NHS resources responsibly. These reports offer an up-to-date picture of our work and how public voices continue to shape the SDE.
This section provides full visibility of major engagement projects, including their methodology, findings, and impact. These reports show how we have listened to communities, built trust, and generated evidence that guides the SDE’s development.
Our thematic reports offer clear, accessible insights into key issues affecting the Wessex SDE and the wider NHS Research SDE Network. Drawing on local experience and expert discussions, these reports inform policy, spark national conversations, and drive learning across the network for both the public and researchers.
We make straightforward resources like videos, leaflets, and guides to help people understand how health data is used for research in the Wessex SDE. If you want more information or a team member to talk at your event, contact us online or email Ralph Scott at Ralph.Scott@uhs.nhs.uk.
