Big themes from @hsraanz conference from new president @alipea - innovation across the sector - importance of meaningful lived experience involvement at this meeting & lessons learned for future - value of connection between attendees after 3 years without a f2f meeting #HSR22
Great question to funders about adding more time to NHMRC and MRFF funded projects to enable more meaningful lived experience involvement. Gov's are generally not comfortable with grants longer than 5 years, making this difficult, but funders are open to extensions... #HSR22

Lots of presentations on implementation research using the CFIR and some using COM-B at #HSR2022 - major factor for the decision is ease of use including availability of practical tools for data collection and analysis – at Sydney, New South Wales
Summary of key learnings from a brilliant session about co-design chaired by @reemaharrison Co-design takes TIME but it is essential for making healthcare accessible, meaningful, impactful #HSR2022 – at Sydney, New South Wales
