The Consumer Engagement Register is a register of people wanting to be involved in other consumer discussions, working groups and activities around specific health topics.

Consumers from this register provide input to the CAC on specific activities, as required.

Rockingham Peel Group Executive Director Kathleen Smith said consumers had an important role to play in achieving better outcomes for patients.

“We are looking for people with strong community networks, an understanding of local issues, and first-hand experience of Rockingham Peel Group health services,” Mrs Smith said.

“We are constantly working to improve the services we deliver to patients and ultimately their health outcomes, so it’s vital we include them in the improvement process.”
