New Cochrane podcasts explores consumers’ and health providers’ experiences of working in formal partnerships to plan, deliver & evaluate health services

There's increasing recognition of the importance of involving patients and the public in decision making about health services and a growing body of relevant research. In March 2023, Cochrane published a new qualitative evidence synthesis which brings some of this research together.

In a new Cochrane podcast out this week, Rachel Plachcinski, an independent Parent, Patient and Public Involvement Consultant and member of Cochrane's Consumer Network Executive, explores the review findings with authors Bronwen Merner and Rebecca Ryan, from La Trobe University and the Cochrane Consumers and Communication Group.
