Timely diagnosis and treatment can improve survival and quality of life. To address this, we will investigate patient and service delivery factors that influence outcomes with the aim of co-designing and piloting strategies to improve the outcomes for Tasmanians diagnosed with lung cancer

- Description
- The objective of the Three Babies Project is to adapt/develop a group education program using simulation, targeted at 15-16 year olds, introducing the concepts of Shaken baby, drug affected baby and Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders. The program will be based on the course devised by Reality Works. The program will target small groups of up to 12 students (male and female), who are identified by education student welfare staff as vulnerable and at-risk youth, with the increased likelihood of engaging in at risk sexual relationships and illicit drug and alcohol misuse. It is expected that this program will be created and facilitated in collaboration with education support staff and delivered as in school facilitation.

The aim of this project is to gain insights about factors that influence patient flow and use them to build predictive mathematical models for optimising patient flow.
