And while there is growing recognition of the value of genuine and meaningful engagement of consumers and the community in clinical trials, some researchers are unsure how or where to start.

In 2021, Monash Partners Academic Health Science Centre and Sydney Health Partners hosted an informative webinar - Consumer and Community Involvement in clinical trials: Practical strategies and lessons learned.
