Consumer Forum

This forum has been established to support consumers to be involved with cancer control issues across the cancer continuum..

A regional consumer forum was held on Saturday 12th November 2011 in Wellington .

Expected outcomes for the day:

  • update on activities around the region
  • input in current activity / upcoming activity
  • output – engagement on specific issues / challenges

This was an opportunity for consumer reps to update the forum on any cancer consumer activity they have been, or are, involved in.

Input was sought with respect to the CCR workplan and foundation day training; and the shared care records.

The Health Service Co-Design workshop was reworked so that consumers worked on tangible outcomes that CCN will develop up where necessary and with consumers, for implementation. Outcomes for the day included:

  • Attendees having an understanding of statistics and epidemiology with respect to the CCN Health Needs Assessment
  • Attendees having an understanding of the work CCN is undertaking to reduce inequalities with respect to cancer
  • Networking opportunities were enhanced and shared learnings supported
  • Attendees had an opportunity to develop consumer related information pamphlets
