Lived experience needed to shape stroke care guidelines
The Stroke Foundation is looking for people with lived experience of stroke from Australia and New Zealand to join our Guidelines Consumer Development Group. In this group, you can share your experiences to improve guidelines. Your insights are valuable to us!
The Stroke Foundation, with Cochrane Australia, created 'living' stroke guidelines. This model adds new research right away, rather than waiting many months or years.
Who should consider expressing interest?
We want survivors of stroke and caregivers to help shape national stroke care recommendations. We need people from different places and backgrounds, including survivors and caregivers. All cultural backgrounds are welcome.
What is expected?
- Participants will need to be willing and able to commit to the project.
- Most of the work will be done via email or phone (or videoconferences via internet).
- Training and ongoing support will be provided by the Stroke Foundation.
- Likely to require 2–10 hours of your time over 12 months
- Appointment on the group is a voluntary position.
- All out of pocket expenses will be covered by the Stroke Foundation.
