Consumer advocacy in rural education and research
Description
Join us for the third installment of the national Regional Cancer Forum webinar series, where we explore the vital role of consumer advocates in rural, regional, and remote cancer care. This session will bring together key voices in the consumer advocacy space to discuss how rural clinicians and communities can support and partner with lived experience advocates across cancer care, research and education in Australia.
Topics covered will include:
- Highlighting current consumer advocacy work in rural research, education and services
- Exploring the current evidence and research insights around consumer involvement and leadership in transforming change in rural settings
- Identifying the barriers, enablers and practical strategies or resources to strengthen consumer advocacy in the regions
- Practical strategies for clinicians to identify and support patients who may wish to become advocates.
This interactive webinar will follow a structured Q&A format.
