Consumers in Health Research: the Practicalities - Westmead Workshop

Consumers in Health Research: the Practicalities

This 4-hour face-to-face workshop brings researchers and consumers together to work on the practical aspects of partnering in health research. It is co-facilitated by a researcher and an experienced health consumer, and has been designed to provide an in-depth understanding of the 'why', 'what' and 'how' of consumer involvement.

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.

The online course and workshop have been developed in partnership with Health Consumers NSW.
