This workshop is a must-attend for anyone interested in:



  • defining the systemic role consumer leadership and insights can play in health care improvement

  • learning about an innovative program that supports both consumers and clinicians to engage in authentic collaborative practice

  • recommending cultural and organisational shifts required to support collaborative practice and consumers in leadership roles.
