CRG coordinators should inform consumers about the Consumer Network and should also let the Network know about consumers involved in the group. Consumers are often concerned about providing a balanced perspective. This also provides a balance and check on direction, focus, perspective and progress. Consumers should consult with their networks wherever possible. CRGs should provide feedback and encouragement.

Consumers should be involved in a range of activities. Authors should find collaborators. These could include peak medical bodies, universities and public libraries. Consumers could assist by investigating practical applications for research and reviews. Make the reviews easier to read and understand.
