Based in London, Richard Morley is the Cochrane Consumer Engagement Officer. The Consumer Network Executive was set up in 1995 to provide governance and leadership for the growing international community of consumers (patients, caregivers, family members and others) who work to help produce and spread Cochrane evidence. Richard supports the engagement and involvement of healthcare consumers (patients, carers, and the public) in Cochrane’s research and governance, including working with a growing network of 1750 volunteers across the world. He works with Cochrane authors and Groups and a range of partnerships that support this engagement, including the new International Network for Patient and Public Involvement in Research, of which he was a founding member. Richard has extensive experience of public engagement and partnership working in the voluntary, public, and higher education sectors. He has worked as an adviser for the James Lind Alliance, supporting research priority setting at the University of York’s Department of Health Science on patient involvement where he is a Visiting Fellow.
