Pancreatitis Priority Setting Partnership (PSP)

2nd Nov 2021

The Pancreas Society of Great Britain and Ireland (PSGBI) is incredibly excited after getting the Pancreatitis “Priority Setting Partnership” (PSP) up and running in September 2021. This is a joint collaborative of the PSGBI, GUTs UK charity and the British Society of Gastroenterology (who are all co-funding the PSP) run with the help of James Lind Alliance (JLA). The PSP involves patients, carers and all healthcare professionals involved in the management of pancreatitis. The PSP will help to identify and prioritise the unanswered questions in the area of pancreatitis (patient driven) and prioritise research studies in these areas in future. As part of the consultation process, a questionnaire survey will be sent out to all the stakeholders through the PSGBI website in due course. We look forward to your kind participation.

WHAT IS A PSP?

The James Lind Alliance (JLA) helps set up Priority Setting Partnerships (PSPs) for a wide range of diseases. The purpose of this PSP is to identify and prioritise the unanswered questions in the area of acute and chronic pancreatitis. We aim to have a final output of the top ten research areas needed in pancreatitis put in priority order. The PSP process brings together patients, their carers, doctors, nurses, scientists, researchers, dietitians and other health professionals all with an equal voice.

WHO IS RUNNING THE PSP? 

Guts UK charity along with the British Society of Gastroenterology (BSG) and the Pancreatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland (PSGBI) are all co-funding and collaborating on this PSP.
