Purpose This study aims to address the knowledge gap regarding patient and consumer-driven priorities in peripheral artery disease (PAD) research within the Australian context. By understanding what aspects of PAD management and intervention are most important to patients, the consumer-focused study seeks to inform researchers and healthcare organisations how best to align clinical practices and research efforts with outcomes that matter to patients. Methodology In this mixed-methods study, a representative cohort of 15 patients with PAD, purposefully selected from 90 participants in a concurrent randomised controlled trial, attended a consumer workshop and completed a structured questionnaire and focus-group interviews, developed from previous qualitative research. Participants ranked ten predefined factors by priority and responded to five open-ended questions to provide qualitative insights into their preferences and concerns. Quantitative responses were analysed by calculating mean ranks (out of 10), while qualitative data underwent thematic analysis. Results Patients identified "Prevention of Complications," "Improving Quality of Life," and "Access to Vascular Care" as their top priorities, with average ranks of 2.5, 2.7, and 2.7, respectively, indicating their high importance. In contrast, "Cost Associated with Treatment" was ranked lowest (mean rank 5.3), reflecting less concern relative to other factors. The qualitative data reinforced these findings, emphasising the need for early intervention, enhanced preventive health programs, non-surgical treatment options, and comprehensive patient education. Conclusion Consumer-reported priorities of quality of life and access to comprehensive care are actionable goals for health services that meet patient needs and preferences. Best-practice research engages consumers, with this project demonstrating the value of consumer-driven priorities to shape effective and relevant healthcare solutions.
