Questions we need to be able to answer (Trent SHA, 2005) How much time will I need to commit? Will I need to travel? Will I get any help? Will I be on my own or be supported? What sort of things will I do? Will I get feedback from my involvement? Will my role be clear? Can I choose how to be involved? Will I be trained? Will I understand the language? Can I be involved even if I cannot get to meetings or groups? How will I be kept informed even if I do not come to meetings? Will I be reimbursed or paid? Will things change as a result of my involvement?

Demonstrate best practice and life long learning Respect the person and their expertise Be prepared for working alone in the community Work well with other professionals Healthcare graduate 2010
