Dr Nikki Dunne joined Family Carers Ireland in March 2019. Family Carers Ireland is the national charity supporting the 500,000 family carers across the country who care for loved ones such as children or adults with physical or intellectual disabilities, frail older people, those with palliative care needs or those living with chronic illnesses, mental ill-health or addiction. Family Carers Ireland is also a partner of the PPI Ignite Network @ UCD. As the organisation’s research manager, Nikki leads Family Carers Ireland’s programme of research and manages a diverse range of qualitative and quantitative projects relating to family carers. She is particularly focusing on building and coordinating research involvement and engagement among family carers, researchers and other stakeholders.

Here, Nikki speaks to Dr. Nora Leiggi the former programme manager for the PPI Ignite Network @ UCD about carer involvement and the experience of building the PPI family carers network at Family Carers Ireland.
