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.

This workshop is now at capacity. Spaces are still available at the upcoming workshop in Parramatta on Thursday, 20 March.
