2006 Workshop

The Cancer Institute NSW has representation from consumer and/or community members on all of its appropriate committees. On 21 November 2006, the Cancer Institute NSW hosted its inaugural Consumer Workshop, facilitated by the Consumers’ Health Forum of Australia (CHF) and planned with Cancer Voices NSW.

This workshop was designed to provide an interactive learning opportunity for consumer/community representatives and update them on the work of the Cancer Institute NSW. The day provided an opportunity for participants to understand the core skills needed to make an effective contribution from a consumer/community perspective. It also outlined strategies for representatives to put into practice and identified ways the Cancer Institute NSW could encourage and support the representatives in their role. Evaluation of the workshop was positive; with high level interest and support for further training opportunities in the future.
