Blood diseases – ACBD Consumer Engagement Program
The Australian Centre for Blood Diseases (ACBD) have launched their Community Engagement Program. This program aims to connect dedicated researchers at the ACBD with community members (often called consumers) who have experienced a blood disorder or cancer. Consumers will be partnered with researchers or a research group, bringing their valuable lived experiences to the team and contributing to our shared goal of turning new discoveries into better patient outcomes.
