Many parents have not heard of bronchiectasis until their child has been diagnosed. It is often at this point that parents seek out further information, and our respiratory research group has developed several resources to support families.
Bronchiectasis is a chronic respiratory disease which currently has no licensed medication specific to the condition. The BronchiEctasis Trial Testing ERdosteine investigates a bronchiectasis-specific pharmaceutical treatment aiming to improve patient outcomes.
My research uses next generation sequencing technologies to detect gene patterns in blood in children with bronchiectasis. This helps identify which children will have better outcomes and respond best to treatments.
My research explores opioid dispensing patterns for people with spinal cord injuries and will present healthcare providers and policymakers with the knowledge needed to promote better health outcomes.
AusHSI and researchers from the LOCATE-NAFLD project were proud to host an event on 8 May exploring the rising burden of liver disease in Australia, gaining insights into what stakeholders believe can be done to begin addressing the key issues.
The government’s conversation piece about Australia's Science and Research Priorities wants to hear about the greatest current national challenges and opportunities. The greatest current challenge for science is to improve itself.
My research aims to integrate more cost-effective and patient-centered models of virtual care beyond the COVID-19 pandemic. I will conduct a discrete choice experiment with a large cohort of Queensland prisoners to better understand their preferences.
Dr Sundresan Naicker, AusHSI Research Fellow - Implementation Science, highlights health system improvement as the driving force of health services innovation.
Research funding schemes with low success rates have enormous opportunity costs. It may provide a warm feeling to be rewarding all fields and career levels, you can only do this if you have the money to back it up.
Dr Qing Xia, AusHSI Research Fellow - Health Economics, explores the ways in which health services innovation can optimise the performance of the health system.
