June 18, 2021 https://doi. org/10.1016/S2665-9913 (21) 00181-8 digital platforms has had an adverse impact on diversity and participation from under-represented groups due to variable technology proficiency, access to technology, ability to advertise events, and a lower representation from older age groups. Newer groups, such as those in UCLH and Oxford, have been set up on virtual platforms from the outset due to the pandemic. A benefit of this is increased participation from busy individuals due to the removal of travel time. However, the use of virtual platforms limits the ability of patient partners to get to know each other in an informal manner (mitigated by small-group breakout discussions by UCLH) and restricts participation from people who do not have easy access to the internet. It is likely that future patient and public involvement events will return to having an in-person element, either as entirely face-to-face events or a hybrid format. The advantages of virtual meetings will not be overlooked and will be useful for planning meetings and also reaching the younger demographics, such as adolescent and young adult patients. Patient involvement in rheumatology research is vital due to its benefits to researchers, clinicians, and patients, and should be carried out in a structured manner. Unprecedented challenges such as the COVID-19 pandemic have resulted in a transformation with regard to the conduct of patient and public involvement activities and priority setting partnerships. Adapting virtual platforms has revolutionised patient and public involvement activities during COVID-19, but we should be mindful that our efforts remain inclusive, with patient representation from a range of demographics to ensure that the research focus represents the wider community, while continuing to apply innovative thinking to ways to develop dynamic, impactful collaborations with patients.
