The purpose of the RPSC is to provide expertise and direction to the conduct of an ACEM Clinical Trials Network research prioritisation exercise. The RPSC will identify unanswered questions about emergency care from consumer and clinical perspectives in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand and develop a list of the top ten research priorities for the next five years. The RPSC reports to the ACEM Research Advisory Committee and will operate for the duration of the two-year project.
The top ten research priorities will be used to inform ACEM strategic priorities for research and advocacy, decision-making on what research projects to support, and awareness among clinician researchers of strategic priorities for grant development. The RPSC will also support the publication and promotion of the top ten priorities to emergency care policy makers, clinicians, and research funders.
The RPSC is seeking Community Members who can contribute the lived experience of patients, carers, or members of the public in relation to emergency care in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand. Five (5) community member positions are available, including one position for a person who identifies as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, one position for a person who identifies as Māori, and three general community member positions.
