| A long and winding road? Transforming primary health care research into policy and practice. |
Description:
This seminar, to be held as a curtain raiser to the Statewide Primary Health Care Research Symposium 2008, will examine the struggles faced in transforming research findings into policy and practice in the primary health care sector.
The discourse of evidence based practice presupposes that ‘good’ research delivering ‘good’ evidence will by default result in ‘good’ health policy and practice. A simple and elegant supposition but one which disregards the reality that research evidence which challenges the status quo - professionally, politically, culturally and organizationally- may lie languishing if obstacles to uptake are not identified and managed effectively.
Professor James Dunbar will open proceedings with his reflections on his experience of undertaking a systematic review for the Australian Primary Health Care Research Institute (APHCRI) and the Stream 10 travelling fellowships. He will be joined by a panel of experts from different parts of the research to policy continuum, who will draw on their own experiences and bring their own differing perspectives to the tricky issues involved in transforming research into policy and practice in the primary health sector.
Panel members; Ms Kim Boyer Senior Research Fellow - Rural Health Policy and Service Planning, University Department of Rural Health, University of Tasmania, Ms Sue Frendin, Manager Health Priorities , Department of Health and Human Services , Ms Ella Ashley, State Manager Cardiovascular Health, Heart Foundation, Tasmania.
Primary health care practitioners and policy professionals from government and the non-government sector are invited to join us to explore these issues as they impact on their own organisations. Please register early as numbers are strictly limited.
4.00 pm to 6.00pm. Light refreshments provided.
