Consumer & Community Involvement in Research
About
Every researcher should be actively involving consumer or community members to improve quality and increase impact of their research. Community involvement is increasingly a requirement for funding agencies. This seminar provides a practical introduction and will cover basic principles of consumer and community involvement, the benefits and barriers, and what to put in place to get started.Presented by:
Hayley Harrison, Coordinator Consumer Engagement, CAHS
Arielle Jolly, Clinical Research Nurse, PhD candidate
Hayley has more than 20 years experience engaging consumers and community members in health and medical research, and health service design, measurement, and evaluation across Australia and the UK. As a consumer representative on several state-wide and national committees, Hayley has a unique insight on how consumers can best be supported to have their say.
As a clinical research nurse and PhD Candidate, Arielle was also a recent recipient of the CAHS CCI scholarship and will share her learnings. She will be joined by Julia Vojkovic who is part of the FOOTPRINTS Consumer Advisory Group and contributed to design and induction of project staff.
