Consumer and Community Involvement in Research Masterclass

Consumer and Community Involvement in Research Masterclass

Set your consumer-researcher partnerships up for success! BRAND NEW COURSE

We asked both research teams and community members what they needed to know to effectively partner on health and medical research projects….and they answered!

This newly developed course tackles key gaps in understanding and the practicalities of consumer and community involvement in health research... empowering participants to enter consumer-researcher partnerships with confidence.

By holding one course for both research teams and community members, attendees will learn FROM each other AND have the possibility of forming new partnerships on the day!
