About PHCRED at UTAS

The Menzies Research Institute (MRI) and the University Department of Rural Health at the University of Tasmania are part of a nationwide initiative funded by the Department of Health and Ageing designed to support strategic primary care research.

The Primary Health Care Research, Evaluation and Development (PHCRED) Strategy aims to improve national research capacity in general practice by assisting University Departments of General Practice and Rural Health to further develop primary health care as an area of scholarship by embedding a research culture in Australian general practice specifically, and Australian primary health care more generally.

At UTAS we offer support to the general practice and allied health community in the following ways:

  • An educational program focussing on research skills, for example:
    • Quantitative Data Analysis
    • Qualitative Research Methods
  • Providing consultative support for your research and evaluation projects

We are also particularly interested in building successful partnerships to undertake:

  • Collaborative research
  • Supervision of primary care research higher degree students
