The CESPHN Research Strategy 2024-2027 outlines the organisation’s research vision and priorities. The strategy provides guidance for researchers and stakeholders to ensure that all supported research aligns with our strategic objectives, strengthens translation into practice and policy, and supports high-quality primary care across central and eastern Sydney.
Research provides the evidence base for effective, equitable and efficient primary care. It drives innovation and continuous improvement and is essential for developing and evaluating health care solutions that are relevant and tailored to the local context.
Our work is supported by our strong partnerships with local universities, access to primary care data, local research committees, and a diverse population. We also engage a large network of general practices and allied health providers.
We work with clinician-researchers and partners to foster collaboration, support student placements, and build research capability. This approach strengthens connections and supports translation into practice and policy, contributing to improved primary care outcomes. We have also made improvements in how we manage, process and report on the large number of research requests received.
