Consumers in Health Research: the Practicalities - Camperdown Workshop

Please join us for a practical face-to-face workshop exploring how consumers and researchers can work together to create positive, meaningful and productive partnerships in health research.

Co-facilitated by health researchers and consumers, this free workshop offers an in-depth understanding of the 'why', 'what' and 'how' of consumer involvement in research.

What will I learn?

By the end of this workshop, you will have a basic understanding of:

• the rationale for consumer and community involvement in health research;

• different ways that health consumers and the community can be involved in health research;

• recognition of specific opportunities for consumer involvement across different research study types;

• practical solutions to enabling meaningful and sustained consumer involvement throughout your research; and

• awareness of the range of resources/tools available to support collaborative activities.

Who should attend? 
This workshop is for NSW consumers and Sydney Health Partner-affiliated researchers, clinicians and health professionals interested in learning more about the practicalities of establishing and sustaining consumer–researcher partnerships.
