This seminar will outline how family carers are integrated and involved in the co-production of carer research, policy and supports. Family Carers Ireland will describe the lessons learnt from establishing a PPI panel of family carers, as well as future plans. In addition, two Irish Research Council New Foundations funded projects will be presented, the CARERENGAGE and INTERFACE projects. Both projects involve collaborations between family carers, UCC researchers, Family Carers Ireland and Care Alliance Ireland. For both projects, the perspectives of family carers, researchers and partner organisations will be presented.
