From Global to Local: CEI Lessons from LMICs Enhancing the UK Healthsystem

From Global to Local: Enhancing the UK Healthcare System with Lessons from CEI in LMICs

The concept of reciprocal learning remains an exciting and powerful prospect in health and care research. As Professor Lucy Chappell notes in her blog “Creating the virtuous circle – the lasting value of bidirectional health research,” global health thrives on mutual exchange. Approaches developed in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are not only improving outcomes locally but also feeding back into the UK’s healthcare and research systems—enriching practice through innovation, inclusion, and equity. This virtuous circle of learning highlights the power of global collaboration to strengthen local impact.

Building on this principle, the upcoming webinar will showcase how Community Engagement and Involvement (CEI) approaches from LMICs are actively shaping health research and service delivery in the UK. Through real examples, speakers will demonstrate how global CEI principles—collaboration, equity, and shared learning—are being applied to build trust, strengthen community relationships, and create more responsive healthcare systems.

Join us to hear from experts and practitioners who are translating international CEI insights into local action, demonstrating how global experiences can create more inclusive, responsive, and equitable healthcare systems in the UK.
