Taking patient and public involvement online: qualitative evaluation of an online forum for palliative care and rehabilitation research Patient and public involvement (PPI) is increasingly recognised as important in research.

As these challenges are particularly common in palliative care and rehabilitation research, we developed an online forum for PPI (...) in vulnerable social circumstances and/or remote geographical locations). These challenges are particularly pertinent in palliative care and rehabilitation research where people often live with, or care for someone with, advanced illness. In response to this, we aimed to test the functionality, feasibility, and acceptability of an online forum for PPI for palliative care and rehabilitation research (www.csipublicinvolvement.co.uk).We conducted separate focus groups with PPI members and researchers who had
