Health Services Research

When contemplating a project, there are many initial questions that will affect how it is designed and executed, including:

  • Is this research, or something else? (Such as service development)
  • What kind of approvals will we need to put in place?
  • Who needs to buy into the project within our organisation and beyond?
  • What resources do we have to complete it?
  • Could we seek funding from another organisation?

We can help you to ask the right questions and thus design a realistic project that will be right for your practice or policy context.
