- Description
- Sustaining and scaling of health service improvement is a key challenge in delivering high quality healthcare, given an increasing demand for services and fiscal constraints. The Centre for Healthcare Redesign at the Agency for Innovation (NSW Health), in partnership with the University of Tasmania, offers a work-integrated learning graduate certificate program in healthcare redesign. A total of 114 health service improvement projects were completed during the period 2017-19 by students in the program., Therefore, there exists a unique opportunity to identify common factors that influence the success of student-led projects, and the sustainability and scalability of improvements, in healthcare across all facets of the system. The lessons learned will influence future student learning but also have the potential to improve the healthcare system for patients, clinicians, and the broader community.

- Description
- This project seeks to understand how junior doctors in Tasmania experience and perceive bullying, harassment and/or discrimination. The project will draw from experience-based codesign (EBCD) methodology, whereby the project team will partner with junior doctors to understand their perceptions and experiences, and work with them to prioritise areas for focus and develop strategies to minimise the impacts of bullying, harassment and discrimination in their workplace.
