Program 


We are putting together an exciting program of speakers under the theme of Resilience, Innovation and Value through Research. Our keynote and plenary speakers will bring national and international perspectives on major issues in health services research, and we look forward to putting together a diverse program of high quality presentations selected from abstract submissions. Delegates will hear from health policy makers and health services research funders, and early career researchers will have access to a stimulating program to promote professional networks and create opportunities to share their work.

And finally, after many months of professional interaction through a computer screen, we will be doing everything possible to offer our delegates a high quality face to face networking experience within the HSR2022 program.

KEYNOTE PRESENTATIONS


Day 1

Connecting policy makers and health services researchers to build resilient health systems in COVID-19: Three international perspectives:  Featuring Professor Trish Greenhalgh from the University of Oxford, UK, Professor Adelsteinn Brown of the University of Toronto, Canada, and the Chief Executive of the NSW Agency for Clinical Innovation, Dr Jean-Frederic Levesque, this session will bring together three prominent health services researchers who have been leaders in advocating for evidence-based policy responses to the COVID-19 in their respective countries. Through their experiences we will receive an insight into how evidence can influence policy, and the strengths and failures of three international approaches.

Day 2

Innovation through bridging worlds:  To open this session, Associate Professor Sara Kreindler, Research Chair in System Innovation at the University of Manitoba will share her experiences in tackling system-level issues in the provision of healthcare, incorporating both stories of innovation and tales of caution in building bridges between evidence generators and policy makers. 

Three researchers, Dr Kim O’Donnell (Flinders University, Adelaide),  Dr Lauralie Richard (Dunedin School of Medicine) and Associate Processor Vicki Palmer (University of Melbourne) will follow with three case studies of innovation through collaboration and co-design in indigenous, refugee and primary health settings.

Day 3

Exploring value in healthcare:  What do we mean by value in the delivery of health services, and how do we achieve it? Health economists Professor Stirling Bryan (University of British Columbia), Professor Steven McPhail (Queensland University of Technology) and Professor Christine Jorm (University of Newcastle) will delve into these questions and more to open the final day of the conference.


panel  discussions


Two panel discussions will give delegates the opportunity to hear from high profile leaders in the development of health service policy, and the funding of health services research.

Day 1

Inside the policy response to COVID-19 and the role of researchers:  How do policy makers use research evidence in decision making? What can health services researchers do to make their findings meaningful and accessible, and what can we learn from the pandemic experience? 

Day 3

Funding for health services research: Past, present and future:  Few health services researchers can avoid the inevitable question of where the money for the next project will come from.

In this panel, leaders of four national organisations funding health services research including Anne Kelso (National Health and Medical Research Council), Masha Somi (Medical Research Future Fund), and representatives from the HCF Foundation and the Health Research Council of New Zealand, will discuss the roles of their organisations and answer your questions in relation to the funding of health services research.


FEATURED RESEARCH (day 2)


HCF Research Foundation

The HCF Research Foundation is a key supporter of the Health Service Research Conference, and a generous funder of health services research in Australia. In a dedicated stream, leading researchers will present a selection of high quality projects that have been made possible through the support of the HCF Foundation.

Oral and Poster Presentations

Concurrent streams of presentations selected from hundreds of submitted abstracts will be integrated throughout the conference to showcase the breadth of health services research. This is your opportunity to hear the latest research and meet others working in your field of interest.

Early Career Researchers Program

Getting started on a research career can be hard going, but at HSR 2022 we have a great program of activities dedicated to helping ECRs disseminate their work and expand their networks:

·         3MT (Three minute thesis) competition

The 3MT competition is a regular highlight of the Health Services Research Conference. This entertaining event features the work of early career health services researchers and PhD students, laying down the challenge to share their work in 3 minutes in a quest to be judged the best presentation by our esteemed panel of adjudicators, or take out the “People’s Choice” award by popular vote.

·         Speed Mentoring

Our speed mentoring session will give ECRs a chance to break the ice with a series of brief conversations with established researchers. Come along to gain a quick insight into the work of others further along their career journey, or ask a burning question about career paths, academic life, breaking glass ceilings or whatever else pops into your head and continue your unfinished conversations over coffee throughout the conference.

·         ECR Social event

There will be a dedicated social event just for ECRs on the first night of the conference – the perfect way to make new friends and expand your professional networks.
