Consumer Leadership

Page content: Background | Current Work | Downloads

Background

The VQC commissioned a research project to provide advice on developing consumer leadership uptake and capacity in healthcare quality and safety improvement.

The project comprised a literature review and consultation with individuals and representatives of community and consumer organisations, government departments, academic institutions and health services. Its purpose was to identify research, evidence and opinion on leadership, consumer leadership and health consumer participation.

The reports identified a variety of strategies that are effective in developing leadership capability in the community and health sectors.

Current Work

The VQC has commenced a consumer leadership development program based on the strategies identified in the literature review and consultation.
