LIVED EXPERIENCE SPEED CONSULTS

Lived Experience Speed Consults

Lived Experience Speed Consults are being offered for the first time at ANZSOC 2026 on Wednesday 19 August, 10:30am-12:00pm.

These will be delivered by the Stroke CRE Lived Experience Advisory Group.

They will provide an opportunity for researchers to connect directly with people with lived experience of stroke.

Researchers are invited to submit an expression of interest to participate in a 15- or 30- minute consultation session.

Why take part?

Whether your research idea is early-stage or well developed, the sessions are designed to support researchers to:

  • Explore meaningful ways to involve people with lived experience

  • Ask questions and gain insights from people with lived experience of stroke

  • Engage early, helping to strengthen future funding applications and research impact

  • Strengthen language and accessible participant materials

  • Test and refine research ideas and questions

  • Get input on study design and feasibility

  • Build relationships for future collaboration

‍ ‍

What to expect

  • Small group conversations with people with lived experience of stroke
