A team of researchers at the Australian National University (ANU) has initiated a research project to examine best practices for consumer representation in palliative care. This study aims to develop a framework for optimal role delineation and training for consumer leadership within palliative care.

All experts currently working or who have worked in palliative care in Australia are invited to participate in this Delphi study. Targeted participants include, but are not limited to:

• Healthcare practitioners
• Patient representatives
• Carer representatives
• Researchers
• Educators
• Managers and board members of palliative care organisations.

Why are we conducting this research?

The challenges of training and role delineation have been identified as significant weaknesses in current consumer leadership. This study aims to develop a framework for consumer representative training and professional role delineation using the Delphi method. The framework will assist healthcare professionals in understanding their roles in consumer leadership and help leadership coordinators provide the necessary opportunities for consumer training.
