Projects
Health Workforce Program: Expansion of the Rural Health Multidisciplinary Training Program in Aged Care Services (2022 - 2023)$1,500,702
- Description
- The project will involve the establishment of a health training demonstration site in a rural residential aged care service and management of the clinical training of allied health and nursing students. Research will be conducted at the demonstration site to improve local health outcomes of residents in aged care facilities and to ensure better integration across the health and aged care sectors.

Co-design of an educational intervention to improve bowel cancer awareness and screening in a rural community (2022)$25,000
- Description
- Disease awareness within a community is known to help improve uptake of preventative measures. A previous study has suggested a deficiency in bowel cancer awareness in many Tasmania communities. The development of a community-based co-designed educational intervention will lead to improvement in bowel cancer awareness and uptake of bowel cancer screening. This co-design process will collaboratively explore barriers and solutions to poor bowel cancer awareness, poor information seeking behaviour and poor engagement with routine screening exercise. It is expected that the co-design process will lead to the development of educational resources or services bespoke to the rural community, thereby encouraging mass adoption and improvement in health outcomes.

The RANZCO Advanced Clinical Examinations (RACE) Study (2021 - 2022)$50,000
- Description
- The Royal Australian and New Zealand College of Ophthalmologists (RANZCO) delivers a Vocational Training Program for future ophthalmologists. Training is primarily based on work-based learning. Both formative and summative assessments are used to assess trainees' performance. The RANZCO Advanced Clinical Examinations (RACE) is the final hurdle for trainees before trainees begin a self directed learning program in their final year. RACE has clinical and written sections. Trainees need to pass both sections to commence their final year of training. Pass rates for both clinical and written components are declining. Pass rates directly influence the number of new ophthalmologists available to join the workforce and has significant implications for ophthalmic service delivery, particularly in regions and settings that are currently underserviced such as rural and remote areas. This study aims to understand why such a high proportion of RANZCO trainees fail RACE and to identify strategies to better support and prepare trainees for their exams.

RANZCO STP evaluation (2020 - 2021)$50,000
- Description
- Evaluation of The Royal Australian and New Zealand College Ophthalmologists (RANZCO) Specialist Training Program (STP). The overarching aim of the evaluation is to improve the STP experience for trainees and supervisors and to increase the number of STP posts available in rural Australia. The primary objectives of the evaluation are to:*Explore the issues faced by STP supervisors and the trainees rotated to STP posts *Investigate how the STP program can be made more attractive to potential supervisors*Help RANZCO and the training networks improve the existing STP postings for the trainees and their supervisors *Inform the development of strategies to increase the number of ophthalmology STP posts, particularly in rural and regional Australia

Bowel Cancer Awareness in Tasmania: a pilot study (2019)$10,000
- Description
- Bowel cancer is the second most common cause of cancer in Australia after prostate cancer, and the second most common cause of cancer deaths after lung cancer. This is despite the fact that bowel cancer is one of the most preventable cancers through lifestyle risk factor modification and early detection. Levels of population knowledge and awareness around bowel cancer prevention, screening and symptoms is currently unknown. This study seeks to: *determine bowel cancer knowledge and awareness in the overall Australian population; *identify knowledge gaps in specific regions, and; *identify determinants of poor bowel cancer knowledge.This will be achieved through a national survey using the validated Bowel Cancer Awareness Measures tool developed by the University College London and Cancer Research UK.Currently in Australia, there is limited research focusing on the awareness of risk factors, screening, and symptoms of bowel cancer. This study is the first to focus on gathering large population-level and spatial data across Australia concerning bowel cancer awareness. The findings from this research will be useful in identifying sub-groups of the population with insufficient awareness regarding bowel cancer risk factors, screening programme and warning signs, that will benefit from tailored educational intervention.
