More about the CAG
The Consumer Advisory Group is a Committee of the Board provides:
- advice to support effective implementation of strategies to improve consumer engagement and patient centred care across College activities.
- strategic advice on the integration of patient centred care in the College’s professional standards and education approaches.
- a central focus in integrating the consumer voice and priorities into policy and advocacy activities at the College.
The RACP has been serving the health of the Australian and New Zealand people for 82 years. We are a large and diverse educational institution and membership body that delivers post-graduate training and continuing professional development to over 26,000 Fellows and trainee Members.
The College operates in a highly regulated context that is subject to constant change.
Health technologies are rapidly advancing, and more and more physicians are working as part of multi-disciplinary teams often in community as well as hospital settings. These trends will only increase as the health system continues to respond to an aging population, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, demands for patient-centred care and increasing funding pressures. There is also a trend for medical education requirements for trainees and the continuing professional development of the Fellowship to become broader and more rigorous.
The College is continually adapting and responding to the changing needs of our Fellows and trainees to service our communities and meet these changing demands.
The Consumer Advisory Group provides strategic advice on the integration of patient centred care in the College’s professional standards and education approaches and supports the integration of the consumer voice and priorities into policy and advocacy activities.
The Consumer Advisory Group has a role in ensuring the College continues to deliver high quality physician education and training programs, supports future health care systems, and provides health policy leadership.
