Health Services and Practice
The Health Services and Practice (HSP) research group engages in practice-based health services research that encompasses three inter-related domains of research activity: individuals and their families across the lifespan and the health / illness continuum; women during pregnancy, labour and birth, the early postnatal period and children up to five years of age; and management practices in health services.
At HSP our research aims to improve the quality of practice and service provided by nurses, midwives and other practitioners, and to improve health care provision systems. Our research covers the work of associated Centres and a Professoriate including over a dozen Clinical Chairs sponsored by area health services and organisations (the largest Professoriate in Nursing and Midwifery in Australasia).
Our research themes are:
- promoting health & capacity building
- quality & safety
- clinical interventions for improved health outcomes
- communication & relationship building
- knowledge development & implementation (translating research into practice)
