Consumer and Community Involvement in Research Masterclass

Set your consumer-researcher partnership up for success!

We asked both research teams and community members what they needed to know to effectively partner on health and medical research projects….and they answered!

The Consumer and Community Involvement in Research Masterclass tackles key gaps in understanding and the practicalities of consumer and community involvement in health research... empowering participants to enter consumer-researcher partnerships with confidence.

By holding one course for both research teams and community members, attendees will learn FROM each other AND have the possibility of forming new partnerships on the day!
