Be an influencer of better Consumer and Community Involvement (CCI) in research!

Session overview: CCI in health research ensures it is focused on issues that are important patients and that is it conducted in a way the community believe is ethical. CCI can range from identification and prioritisation of topics, co-design and shared roles in the conduct of research, through to shared dissemination and implementation activities.
