The consumer voice is critical. Our partner @HealthConsumers wants to hear from you! What do you think about the COVIDSafe App? Have you downloaded it?
HCASA have launched a COVIDSafe App South Australian Consumer Experience Survey >>>bit.ly/2A4ZxZe
We want to know what South Australians think of the Federal Government's COVIDSafe App in terms of access, trust and to find out why people have/haven't downloaded the app.

A3 #WhyWeDoResearch
It feels as if in the hurry to get COVID-19 research running, consumer consultation has been largely overlooked. Not entirely, but mostly.
Of course, not many COVID-19 consumers are ready to consult yet, but there are survivors of similar conditions.

Would anyone like to join a virtual conference:
‘Crisis or Opportunity? Patient Leadership During Difficult Times’.
Please ‘like’ if you would attend. Then RT. And I will try and arrange it.

I hope not too but suggest your two groups get together and do some intensive lobbying showing important of advocacy in #covid19 days - both @ShelterSa and @HealthConsumers are vital to our democratic system @Paul_Laris @JuliaOverton8 #saheapsunfair

This is one of the factors we picked up on - less space for Democratic debate and consumer and citizen voices to be heard - @HealthConsumers latest casualty of this trend along with @ShelterSa - dangerous policy decisions especially with #Coivd19 #saheapsunfair

I have a very close friend who’s a researcher studying public health at a major NGO, and he told me that this was THE week to practice as much social distancing as possible, even if you don’t have to go to work.
I asked him to explain why. Sharing his answers w/ permission (1/x)

hear hear #codesign isn’t ‘collaborative design’ if it leaves out the voices of #serviceusers #consumers #patients #advocates #carers (@SAHealth are you listening? B2B ‘codesign’ doesn’t cut it) #access #equity #quality #safety #transparency #withconsumers
Powerful appeal from @emilytowfdn: don't forget the voices of people who are directly effected by systems, in the work to change those systems. @TowFdn @PhilanthropyAus @OzInnovation @prfoundation1 @perpetual_ltd @DusseldorpForum
