Webinars

Webinars are a great way to spread knowledge about health consumer engagement and we regularly hold webinars about a wide variety of topics interesting to the health consumer engagement scene.

Due to the popularity of our webinars, we will continue to run them in 2016. If you would like to propose a topic for discussion or nominate an expert in health consumer representation for future webinars, please contact us.

“Health Consumers on ACI Networks and Committees”

Wednesday 22 June, 2016

In November 2015 the ACI Patient Experience and Consumer Engagement (PEACE) Team conducted a survey of ACI staff and consumers to better understand their learning needs with respect to patient experience and consumers engagement. The survey has informed the development of this webinar for consumers.

Facilitated by Dr Anthony Brown Health Consumers NSW and ACI PEACE Team, this webinar clarifies the role of the ACI and it’s networks, and discusses the reflections, examples and challenges of working on them, with experienced ACI Networks and Committees member, Mary Potter.
