A large quotation mark introduces a quote in white text: "I am so pleased that the IMPART study has won this award. Claire Garner and the other patient and public involvement (PPI) representatives for the IMPART study selflessly shared their stories and time, and as a result the study hugely benefited from their guidance. I am delighted that this award highlights the benefits of strong PPI within research." Below the quote is the attribution: "Naomi Carlisle, midwifery researcher, King's College London."
