In Australia, we have the opportunity to build on our leadership in living evidence to further our understanding of the living evidence model and create mechanisms that enable translation of living evidence into evidence-informed policy. A national research agenda that is achieved through collaboration may strengthen not only the evidence-into-policy architecture in Australia but also enable Australia to lead this field internationally. Living evidence is a framework for building and maintaining a current and rigorous synthesis of knowledge within a scientific area. The NSW Health Clinical Intelligence Unit, which sits within the Clinical Innovation and Research Division at the Ministry of Health, has living evidence tables and uses the approach for Horizon Scanning, thus helping the NSW health system to prepare for opportunities to harness advances emerging from health research and innovation. Read a paper written in collaboration between Kim Sutherland, The Office for Health and Medical Research's Executive Director, Samantha Chakraborty, Alex Collie, Sally Green and Tari Turner from Monash University, Rebecca Hodder and Luke Wolfenden from University of Newcastle, Suman Majumdar and Joshua Vogel from Burnet Institute, Bernie Towler from the Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care, and Andrew Wilson from University of Sydney. They believe there is an opportunity to realise the substantial benefits of living evidence for health systems, and to lead this field internationally by encouraging living evidence use in health policy and establishing an Australian research agenda to understand and advance living evidence for policy.

Join the Ways of Knowing Symposia culminating event, virtually or in-person, on November 20, 2024. This unique event will be held as a pre-conference workshop of Race Forward’s 2024 Facing Race Conference. Co-hosts Partners for Advancing Health Equity and Evidence for Action (E4A) for Action are bringing together partners, co-organizers, symposia participants, and individuals bringing new perspectives, to share valuable insights and chart a path forward from our topic-focused symposia: Indigenous Ways of Knowing, Transforming Community-Led Health Research, and Challenging the Norm: Redefining Rigor in Health Research. Collectively, participants will explore, prioritize, and coalesce around next steps for transforming the health science knowledge system and fostering a more inclusive and equitable standard for health research. #FacingRace #WaysofKnowingSymposia https://lnkd.in/g-nfrdDt

Shocking findings: Over 20 years, the primary components of clinical evidence influencing NICE’s decision-making framework were of poor quality. We must demand better patient care, don't we? #healthcarereform #evidencebasedmedicine #patientcarefirst

Please join Malcolm Woodland, PhD & Representative Frederica Wilson (U.S. Commission on the Social Status of Black Men and Boys), Michael J.E. Grier, MPH & Bryan O. Buckley, DrPH, MPH, MBA (NCQA), Crystal Clark MD, MPH, Matthew McCurdy, Dr. Talee Vang and me virtually or in person for a Congressional Briefing on "Healthcare in Action: Using Data to Address Disparities". Goal: This briefing will highlight the impact of whole-person health/health equity accreditation programs within healthcare organizations on reducing disparities and improving health outcomes. It is centered on addressing health disparities among black men and boys and the broader country. The discussion will center around the impact of health equity accreditation on health plans, providers, and community-based organizations, with limited mention of the accreditation.

Thanks Aaliya Goyal for your kind support and describing your Public Health journey. We are facing multiple public health crises on many fronts. We have deepening health inequalities and the NHS on the brink. We have a short window of an opportunity for action. It’s a great time to to put forward radical public health ideas. How do we strengthen the role of DsPH to ensure they influence all the assets and resources in their areas? How do we evolve the NHS into a Public Health? How do we use deep thinking and AI to improve Public Health?

Looking forward European Health Forum Gastein and the opportunity to discuss Civil Society engagement and participation. As civil society, how can we ensure that the voices of all communities, especially the most vulnerable, are heard? Nothing for Us, Without us! How can we leverage evidence and amplify researchers' voices amidst infodemics and fake news? What strategies can we employ to engage in policy making and act as boundary spanners? How can we bring policies back to the communities we serve? Transparency, accountability, and impact – these are some of the questions we need to address.

Civil society engagement in health policymaking requires institutional structures that facilitate participation, active outreach on the part of policymakers, and a vibrant, protected civic space. 🤔 But how can these conditions be fostered, and the participation of civil society in health policymaking be safeguarded? Experts from the The University of Edinburgh, EU Health and Food Safety, the European Patients' Forum, and the European Public Health Alliance (EPHA) will share experiences and research on 26 September during the #EHFG2024 session "Safeguarding civil society participation in health policymaking" This session will address: ✔ Pathways and patterns of civil society participation in policy consultation ✔ DG SANTE’s approach and experience in engaging health stakeholders ✔ The health of the EU civic space and challenges to civil society participation Learn more 👉 https://bit.ly/3Yc9n4o

Really excited to share my new publication on the quality of data submitted to NICE! This research is what first got me interested in HTA broadly and HTA reform. Hope others can gain some valuable insight.

I am priviledged to be chosen as one of the Board of Advisers for The Lancet Global Health Commission on People-Centered Care for Universal Health Coverage. Role of Commissioners Commissioners will together be responsible for completing the work of the Commission over approximately 2.5 years, beginning in the second half of 2024. Tasks include formulating research questions, synthesizing existing evidence, and designing and conducting new research to advance people-centered care. The group will apply this evidence base to develop policy and practice recommendations for operationalizing people-centered care across diverse settings. Working groups will be organized around collectively agreed objectives, and utilize participatory, community-engaged research methods that align with the principles of people-centered care. This will be another journey that will create an impact and influence society as a whole. Harvard Medical School Center for Primary Care
