Engaging consumers in the research cycle has become best practice worldwide.
What do we offer?
The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) promotes consumer engagement in research and engaging consumers in the research cycle has become best practice worldwide.
This workshop teaches researchers the key definitions relating to consumer participation in research and provide practical tips to engage consumers in the research cycle.
This workshop will cover:
Consumer engagement in research background
Definitions, rationale, evidence for and principles of consumer engagement
The NHMRC statement on consumer involvement in research
The role of consumers in the research cycle
Barriers and enablers to consumer engagement in research
How to engage consumers in your research team – practical steps for implementation
What participants say
It is particularly useful to hear about the experiences and ideas around consumer engagement from other researchers. I am now planning to extend my research and speak to carers of patients with cerebral palsy about their experiences of sleepless nights. I hope this will compliment my research on carer’s fatigue
