Inaugural Symposium: NHMRC Partnership Centre for Health System Sustainability, 16 March 2017
This symposium, held on 16 March 2017 in Sydney, was attended by over 120 people from all around Australia. The proposed research plans of the Investigation Team were presented and then participants assisted in shaping and refining the future research agenda of the new Partnership Centre. This highly productive day of deliberation was followed by a Consumer Symposium to purposefully involve consumers in co-designing and co-producing research.
Communique, Outcomes Report presentations (below) and photographs from the Symposium are now available here.
