Emergency Adult Care Consumer Group

We have established an Emergency Adult Care Consumer Group to support Emergency Care research and healthcare improvement

The Emergency Adult Care Consumer Group consists of individuals:

- from different language and cultural backgrounds
- interested in having a say in Emergency Adult Care
- with lived experience of coming to an emergency department or being admitted to hospital themselves or as a carer
