Our Achievements cont’d... Strategic Goal 6 A healthier northern community through growing and translating education & research The translation and learnings from education and research into direct clinical practice leads to optimal health outcomes for consumers. With funding to build the Academic and Research Precinct, Northern Health now has an increased capacity in education and research, which ensures we are able to attract and retain staff who can deliver quality health services. Planning and development of the Academic and Research Precinct continues with the appointment of a project management team and plans for the facility drawn. Funding of $11m needs to be secured and the Northern Health Foundation is working towards a fundraising goal of $5m. In a day to day sense, a variety of evidence based guidelines are being incorporated into everyday practice. Northern Health aims to incorporate research into everyday practice. Northern Health staff continue to collaborate with other health professionals and utilise opportunities to bring knowledge and experience back to Northern Health. Neonatal care is improved by strengthening the clinical relationship with the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at the Mercy Hospital for Women through Dr Wei Qi Fan regularly attending rounds at the Mercy Hospital for Women. Dr Simon Hauser has been appointed a Director of Paediatric Physician Training within the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP). Overseas elective medical students have been hosted in the paediatric department for the first time this year, from the UK, Ireland and Indonesia. Dr Simon Hauser is a supervisor for a number of Universitas Indonesia students who undertake an Advanced Medical Science year at the University of Melbourne. Dr Shane O’Dea received a grant from the RACP to develop multi-site teleconferencing for paediatric education for post-graduate education. Northern Health is also participating in research programs with the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology at Austin Health, focusing on early signs and symptoms of post natal depression. Northern Cardiology is committed to research and improving patient outcomes and choice. An international multicentre research site, Northern Cardiology is a leader in Australia for recruitment in trials of new therapies for patients with heart attack. Local investigator initiated research in association with the University of Melbourne also includes projects utilising transthoracic echocardiography (cardiac ultrasound), optical coherence tomography and development of a novel research project on patient choice of treatment options for those requiring cardiac surgery. Northern Cardiology has made significant commitments to teaching in past three years. Our advanced cardiology trainee program has seen an increase in the number of positions available, and the department actively teaches both medical and nursing students. In 2010, the department ran a course electronically for the first time, streaming live PCI cases to the lecture theatre for the nurse’s cardiology study day. Treating an increasing number of patients within our own primary catchment area has meant improved access to acute and ambulatory cardiac services for patients in Melbourne’s northern suburbs. The developments, including recruitment of Cardiologists at the forefront of their subspecialty, has lead to Cardiology patients in the northern suburbs having access to the very latest in technology, and in the case of the OCT, the first of its kind in Australia. Attestation on Compliance with Australian/New Zealand Risk Management Standard I, Greg Pullen certify that Northern Health has risk management processes in place consistent with the Australian/New Zealand Risk Management Standard and an internal control system is in place that enables the executives to understand, manage and satisfactorily control risk exposures. The audit committee verifies this assurance and that the risk profile of Northern Health has been critically reviewed within the last 12 months.
