BREAKFAST SESSIONS

Thursday 1  December

07:15 - 08:30

Breakfast Session 1.1: Teach me over breakfast: What is implementation Science?

Chair: Lauren Christie Presenter: Sandy Middleton


The field of implementation science seeks to systematically close the gap between what we know and what we do to facilitate the uptake of evidence based practice. Implementation science is a growing field with the potential for significant impacts on health policy, practice and education. This session will provide attendees with an overview of implementation science. The importance of using evidenced based processes, context considerations and stakeholder consultation to support implementation will be explored. Through use of real world examples, the pearls and pitfalls of scaling up successful implementation strategies will be presented. 

Sandy Middleton is the Professor of Nursing and Director of the Nursing Research Institute at St Vincent’s Health Network Sydney, St Vincent’s Hospital Melbourne and Australian Catholic University. She is a National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) Investigator Leadership Fellow with an interest in stroke and implementation research. She is also Director of the Maridulu Budyari Gumal Sydney Partnership for Health Education, Research and Enterprise (SPHERE) Implementation Science platform; and Director of the Maridulu Budyari Gumal Nursing and Midwifery Implementation Science Academy. She has successfully led state and international multi-site implementation trials.


Breakfast Session 1.2: Teach me over breakfast: Writing for publication in health services research

Panel: Stirling Bryan, Robin Gauld & Suzanne Robinson

This panel session features co-Editors from the Journal of Health Organisation and Management, Health Economics, Health Policy, and Health Expectations (among others!). After a brief introduction to their roles and experiences in the publication process, each Editor will provide feedback one or more draft manuscripts and cover letters submitted by Early Career Researchers. This will provide insights into the review process, considerations and factors for successful publication. Particularly useful for early career researchers, this will be an interactive and practical session. Submissions of manuscripts for review are welcome!


Breakfast Session 1.3: Teach me over breakfast: Meaningful consumer engagement

Presenter: Dr Janelle Bowden, Access CR

Engaging with consumers (also called patient representatives, lived experience experts or co-design partners) is increasingly recognised as essential for good health research. However, it needs to be done meaningfully, rather than as a ‘tick the box’ exercise. This short workshop will provide practical skills and resources for meaningful engagement with consumers within health services research. The workshop will highlight the various tools available to support consumer involvement in research, and include a practical interview-style discussion with an experience consumer representative, as well as time for discussion. The workshop is targeted at early and mid-career researchers, although is open to all conference attendees.  

Friday 2 December

07:15 - 08:30

Breakfast Session 2.1: Australian Cardiovascular Disease Alliance "big data" breakfast session: Progress towards a versatile Big Data Health System for Australia: Driving Improvements in Cardiovascular Health.

Convenors/co-chairs: Dominique Cadilhac, Lee Nedkoff

‘Big data’ are increasingly used in health research and have the potential to significantly impact clinical decision-making and human health. In Australia, there are several initiatives being developed to harness big data sources for research into cardiovascular disease and stroke. Ultimately, the objective of making these data findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) will inform evidence-based policy and practice. This session will cover the use of big data from the Commonwealth Government perspective, innovations in linkages for the national stroke registry, and platforms and processes for improving researcher access to big data assets in Australia.

Breakfast Session 2.2: Teach me over breakfast: Essential elements and strategy for health services research grant proposals
Presenter: Dr Lyn Airey, The GrantEd Group

Sponsored By: 

In this session, Lyn will present on the types of funding opportunities available to health service researchers and some common essential elements you can plan in advance. This is a strategic, practical workshop designed to enable early career researchers to develop their skills in writing successful funding proposals and tenders, as well as research planning, building partnerships to secure funding, and more. Lyn spent 13 years as a medical research scientist in Australia and the UK before branching out into project, contract, grant and tender management. Through strategic grant and tender review, Lyn has helped thousands of researchers polish their grant applications with many wins under her belt, including ARC, NHMRC, MRFF, tenders, prizes and awards.
