2018 Mater Research TRIP Symposium
Making Research Matter in Clinical Practice – Understanding the Journey from Research to Implementation
Mater Research is pleased to announce that the 2018 Mater Research Translating Research into Practice (TRIP) symposium will be held on Tuesday 30 October at the Russell Strong Auditorium, Princess Alexandra Hospital.
Registrations for this year's event are now open. Visit the 2018 TRIP Symposium event website to register.
Now in its sixth year, the 2018 TRIP Symposium is a one day event which provides a scientific forum for researchers, clinicians and health professionals from Queensland’s leading medical research institutes, hospitals, health organisations and universities to learn and discuss how their research can inform changes in practice and healthcare strategies.
The symposium program will focus on three main topics:
- engaging and partnering with consumers and communities in research and practice
- finding success in clinical translation of research through integrated care
- using technology to enable and improve research translation to drive advances in healthcare
With a key focus on the pivotal role that consumers and communities play in the design and success of clinical translation; this symposium will uncover key tools, actions and frameworks that have proven effective in accelerating the implementation of evidence-based interventions at the local, state, national and international level.
Each session features thought-provoking presentations and case studies from leading Australian researchers, many of whom will be co-presenting with members of the community involved in their research.
