Research Education and Training Calendar

Join us for the first TAAHC Webinar of the year!! In this episode, we want to help you conquer what can be a crushing and overwhelming feeling of “where do I start” when you are writing up your research to publish!!! Please join Rae Thomas, Denise Craig, Allison Hempenstall, and Melissa Crowe to learn about what are the important components of a research article and how these flow together. Hear from the panel about the tips and tricks that helped them write up their research while being busy clinicians. Ask the tricky questions!

Do you want to present your research or evaluation project at a conference? This session will give you practical tips on preparing abstracts that will catch the attention of conference organisers and give you the best chance of being accepted.

Join us for this month’s webinar exploring the challenges and opportunities of conducting clinical trials in regional, rural, and remote northern Queensland. Gain insights from people who set up, conduct, and support these trials daily. Unlock the potential of extending clinical trial research to underserved communities.

Listen to this month’s webinar to learn about the types of questions health economics can answer and key health economics concepts like efficiency, scarcity, and opportunity costs. This webinar will also introduce the main types of economic evaluations used in healthcare decision making, including cost-benefit analysis and cost-effectiveness analysis. More broadly, this webinar will also look at why health economics is increasingly important in today’s healthcare landscape and how it can help drive value in healthcare.

This webinar is presented by Professor Sharon Mickan. Professor Mickan will provide you with a practical introduction to the Knowledge to Action Framework and the tools needed to frame your knowledge-practice gap.

In this month’s webinar hear how Carissa Bonner’s small qualitative project in her PhD grew into a decade long program of research to improve Heart Health Checks. Grow your research too!

This webinar provided information about openly available and restricted health datasets in NSW, how to establish which data can answer your research question, and how to go about accessing that data.

Hear Catherine Wilkes, Karen Johnston, Deb Smith and Rae Thomas discuss different ways they have engaged communities in their research. Karen, Deb (JCU researchers) and Catherine (a community member on the project team) partnered with remote communities in northern Queensland to conduct a place-based approach to health planning. Rae describes Citizen/Community Juries she has used in her research. Learn how these techniques or their variations can help you involve communities and consumers in research. 

This session has been designed for health professionals and researchers who would like to become more familiar with qualitative research techniques, how to design rigorous qualitative studies, or who want to understand how to critically appraise qualitative research.

JCU Murtupuni research staff are facilitating Research Training Workshops for our local clinicians and novice researchers throughout our footprint in North West Queensland, Central West Queensland, and Lower Gulf and Western Cape regions who may be interested in learning about research or improving their research skills and knowledge.

These workshops are designed for people who are new to research and early career researchers.

Welcome researchers, policymakers, and anyone passionate about responsible research! This on-line workshop delves into the critical world of ethics and governance in conducting research. We'll explore the guiding principles that ensure research is conducted with integrity, protects participants, and ultimately benefits society. Whether you're a seasoned researcher or just embarking on your research journey, this workshop equips you with the knowledge and tools to navigate the ever-evolving ethical landscape.

Feeling overwhelmed by research? This interactive, in-person workshop equips you with the skills to navigate library resources and master EndNote citation management software. This session is perfect for students and researchers of all levels and anyone who wants to improve their research efficiency.

It is nearly impossible to keep up with relevant research in a clinical field. Systematic reviews are a synthesis of original research articles and the highest level of evidence for focused health-related, research questions. In this month’s skills session join Rae Thomas to learn a quick way to appraise systematic reviews and decipher a forest plot that is generated from a meta-analysis. Register now!

The workshop is a free, hybrid, professional development opportunity which will cover the steps involved in planning and undertaking health research. Learn from short plenaries and apply these learnings to hypothetical scenarios in small groups.

This webinar endeavours to empower researchers to handle research data responsibly and efficiently. You will learn how to comply with Queensland Health data management standards and policies, securely store and access your research data, enhance your data quality and ensure research integrity, and maximize the value and impact of your research findings.This program is ideal for researchers, data managers, and anyone involved in health research.

For all Torres and Cape HHS staff!!!

Join this virtual drop-in session to learn about library resources, point of care tools, and CKN.
