A key role of the Palliative Care Research Network (PCRN) is to promote activities that foster the evolution of collaborative scholarly inquiry in palliative care.

There is significant policy, health service and research imperatives to improving consumer and community involvement in palliative care. Consumer involvement ensures that palliative care research and service delivery is relevant and responsive to the needs and perspectives of those receiving care, their families and communities.

Join four consumer panellists: Christine Hofmeyer, Adrienne Copley, Tristan Jallais and Catherine Dooley, as they discuss their experiences as consumer representatives in palliative care. This discussion will delve into the significance of consumer involvement in research and service delivery and explore best practices for effective engagement.

This PCRN Forum will be facilitated by: Miss Mollie Wilson (Project Officer, Centre for Palliative Care, St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne and University of Melbourne).
