Consumer Roundtable 2022: Bringing researchers to the consumer table to explore telehealth

The University of Queensland’s consumers have identified that telehealth has become a core part of healthcare across a range of medical conditions, including GP practice, specialist consultation, aged care, mental health, rehabilitation, maternity care, and rural health services.

COVID-19 has accelerated the expansion of telehealth and, at times, outpacing the development of government policy, funding arrangements and evidence-based approaches.

The Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences, the Faculty of Medicine and the RECOVER Injury Research Centre are pleased to co-host the  Consumer Roundtable 2022: Bringing researchers to the consumer table to explore telehealth. This roundtable event aims to build a greater understanding between two expert groups (consumers and researchers) and raise awareness of the value of consumers as members of a multidisciplinary research team.
