Consumer involvement in research is fundamental in developing research priorities, healthcare policy, and clinical practice guidelines. RECOVER Injury Research Centre, embarked on a journey to develop and implement a genuine consumer involvement strategy. The aim of the strategy was to include consumers and community members with a lived experience of injury, their carers, and health professionals not only as research participants, but across the entire research spectrum.
