Meaningful Engagement with Community Stakeholders in Research
Meaningful Engagement with Community Stakeholders in Research
Join us for an event dedicated to exploring the best practices for involving individuals with living/lived experience in substance use research. Through networking, interactive stalls, presentations, and table discussions, we will discuss the value of co-design and co-research in creating impactful studies and how we can best achieve this. We’ll explore the role of Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) groups in shaping research from the ground up and address the challenges and opportunities in fostering meaningful engagement.
