Launch event: 19 June 2019 | Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare

We are delighted that some of you could join us for the launch of the Institute for EvidenceBased Healthcare.

The transition from Centre to Institute will give us greater ability to provide advisory services that will help people think about ways to provide sustainable, evidencebased healthcare, and how research can better inform policy and practice.

The transition will also help us to increase our impact, partnerships and translational project opportunities in addition to the development of new educational programs, such as the Master of Healthcare Innovations. Being the first of its kind in Australia, the new Master’s targets a diverse cohort of health professionals, who want to be systems thinkers and problem solvers while using research-based evidence to deliver value and high-quality healthcare in the 21st century.

Our Institute brochure shares some patient experiences and highlights significant healthcare challenges we are all facing, it also provides some solutions and directions where we can work together to provide sustainable, evidence-based healthcare.

Thank you for being a part of this launch with us, and we look forward to continuing working with you and new partners, to improve healthcare here in Australia and globally.

Warm regards,

Prof. Paul Glasziou iebh.bond.edu.au Subscribe to our newsletter
