The Extent and Nature of Lived Experience Engagement in the Development of Australian Clinical Practice Guidelines, 2014–2025: A Scoping Review

It is encouraging that most Australian guidelines published during 2014-2025 reported at least some lived experience engagement in their development. However, extensive lived experience engagement was not reported for the vast majority of guidelines. The engagement of people with lived experience in guideline development needs to be improved to ensure that their values, views and preferences are reflected.

Abstract

It is encouraging that most Australian guidelines published during 2014-2025 reported at least some lived experience engagement in their development. However, extensive lived experience engagement was not reported for the vast majority of guidelines. The engagement of people with lived experience in guideline development needs to be improved to ensure that their values, views and preferences are reflected.
