Driving Impact: Advancing Equity Through Research

La Trobe’s School of Nursing and Midwifery and the Care Economy Research Institute (CERI) invite you to this research seminar on translating research into impact, where our panel speakers will explore the critical elements of bridging the gap between knowledge and practical application.

Drawing on international experience, Dr Daphne Cheung will look at how patents and commercialisation incentivise investment in aged care and enable new ideas and technologies to reach the market.

Associate Professor Rachel Winterton will explore what impact can look like in Australian context and how research co-design that engages industry builds regional and rural health, and aged care sectoral capacity, as well as how developing toolkits and guidelines provide evidence-based, standardised approaches to implement effective interventions consistently and efficiently.
