Abstract
To the Editor,
Patient and caregiver (consumer) involvement in research can strengthen the relevance and uptake of evidence. However, there is little guidance on how to involve consumers in the implementation of research in practice and policy. Existing frameworks suggest that consumers can contribute to implementation of research by providing input on the design and delivery of interventions to ensure acceptability in practice. Consumers can also contribute to strategies for implementing research, for example by identifying potential barriers and facilitators to adopting new treatments or providing feedback on implementing interventions through surveys or interviews. In the context of chronic kidney disease (CKD), there is little documented on consumer involvement in the implementation of research. The aim of this workshop was to identify ways to involve patients and caregivers in the implementation of research in CKD...
