Consumer and community involvement is increasingly recognised as essential for high-quality, impactful health research. But how do you engage consumers early, and in ways that feel genuine and sustainable?
This session will bring together researchers from UQ, Griffith and QUT to share practical guidance on when and how to bring consumers into projects, tips for building relationships, managing expectations and ensuring fair compensation, as well as common barriers and enablers. Participants will gain clear takeaways they can apply in their own research settings.
