Our research focus

We have identified four priority areas in which we will focus our research efforts.

Our research foci are:

Equitable access to healthcare and addressing the social determinants of health

Equitable access to healthcare including culturally safe health services for diverse populations and addressing the social determinants of health

Mental health research

Mental health research including the underlying causes of mental illness, burden of disease, clinical interventions, service delivery and evaluation, and policy and practices

Digitally driven health service redesign

As a digital hospital and adopter of telehealth services, WMH has vast opportunities to initiate and shape healthcare services within the digital sphere

Health services research to drive excellence in healthcare

With its growing population and current redevelopment, West Moreton Health is ideally placed to lead and contribute to research into health services to optimise patient care
