Organisation
INVOLVE has three working groups and one main group. The working groups are called 'Empowerment', 'Evidence, Knowledge and Learning' and 'Strategic Alliances'
The main Group reports directly to the Department of Health and deals with issues around public involvement in research and development. It also makes recommendations to the Department of Health on how to improve and strengthen public involvement in research.
The working groups each have their own area of responsibility:
- Strategic Alliances is responsible for developing and promoting alliances with key groups including the public and researchers to promote public involvement in research.
- Empowerment is responsible for ensuring that people who are affected by NHS, Public Health and Social Care research have the opportunity, and are able to have an active role in all areas of research.
- Evidence, Knowledge and Learning is responsible for developing, gathering, disseminating and promoting the existing information and knowledge around public involvement in NHS, public health and social care research.

Famous quotes containing the word organisation:
“It is because the body is a machine that education is possible. Education is the formation of habits, a superinducing of an artificial organisation upon the natural organisation of the body.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)
