Staff and consumer experience of capabilities for successful governance and quality improvement committee partnerships: a coproduced cross-sectional qualitative survey

Staff and consumers with >1 year of committee partnership experience were aware of the partnership capabilities required to support successful governance and quality improvement committees. Participant real-world examples demonstrated that collaborating on committees positively impacted across personal attributes, relationships and communication, organisational principles and practices, and equalising decision making, power and leadership. Findings suggested that committee consumer partnerships may build over time to address barriers including lack of opportunity, power imbalances, and tokenism.
