Webinar “From Global to Local: Enhancing the UK Healthcare System with Lessons from CEI in LMICs” 10 February, 3–4PM (GMT)

11 January, 2026

The NIHR Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) team are pleased to invite you to our fourth webinar in the PPIE/CEI Bidirectional Learning Series “From Global to Local: Enhancing the UK Healthcare System with Lessons from CEI in LMICs”.

Date: 10th February 2026

Time: 3.00–4.00 PM GMT, London UK (Online via zoom)

Join us to explore how Community Engagement and Involvement (CEI) approaches developed in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) are actively shaping health research and service delivery in the UK. This session will demonstrate how global CEI principles —collaboration, equity, and shared learning - can be translated into local action to build trust and create more responsive healthcare systems.

What you will hear about:

- Global to local CEI strategies: Insights into how CEI strategies from LMICs can be used to strengthen community relationships and healthcare practice in the UK.

- Driving Innovation through Reciprocity: Discover how a "virtuous circle of learning" between global and local systems enriches inclusion and equity.

- Translate Insight into Action: Practical examples and expert perspectives on turning global health CEI approaches into practical, equitable healthcare solutions within the NHS.

Speakers include:

- Farrah Lunat (Research Operations Manager at Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust and Joint Lead Author of the NIHR ROSHNI-2 study)

- Professor Nusrat Husain (Professor of Psychiatry and Director of Global Health at the University of Manchester and NIHR Senior Investigator)

- Dr. Matthew Harris (Clinical Senior Lecturer in Public Health at Imperial College London and Honorary Consultant in Public Health Medicine)
