2. 2020 Consumer & Community Forum

19 November 2020

Wrap up

RECOVER hosted its second Consumer & Community Forum via Zoom on 19 November 2020.

The forum provided an overview of the types of consumer engagement activities occurring at RECOVER, along with group activities and discussions designed to explore ways that consumers can become more involved.

This forum was attended by people affected by injury, interested community members and health professionals.

The event program was as follows:

  • A welcome to country and a welcome to all attendees from the Director, Professor Trevor Russell
  • An overview of the RECOVER consumer engagement program
  • A description of how consumer engagement differs from research participation
  • Three presentations from research staff giving examples of how RECOVER researchers are engaging consumers in their research

A copy of the forum presentations (PDF, 1.8 MB) can be downloaded here.

After a break, we sought feedback from attendees on the following topics:

  • The benefits of involving consumers in research
  • The draft consumer engagement framework
  • Identifying RECOVER consumers
  • Ways RECOVER can connect with consumers, including how to expand our mailing list
