Let’s talk about Influence in Action

Here’s a snapshot of the program themes:

  • how consumer and community partnerships drive measurable improvements
  • examples of impactful consumer and community engagement partnerships that demonstrate what it looks like to move from lived or living experience to real change
  • how to ‘disrupt’ in ways that are constructive, strategic and outcomes focused – challenging what isn’t working while strengthening quality, safety and trust in health services
  • what would influence look like if it was done differently?
