Consumer Engagement

Who are consumers?

‘Consumers’ are people who have a lived experience of a health issue. They can be patients, their friends, their families, their careers, and members of the public.

Each member of the ANZDATA CAP has been personally impacted by chronic kidney disease, whether as a patient, caregiver, family member, or donor. Their unique experiences and perspectives provide valuable insights that are instrumental in advancing our goal of enhancing the quality of care and outcomes for individuals with end-stage kidney disease in Australia and New Zealand.
