• The Central Coast Research Institute acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land, the Darkinyung people, on whose land the Institute is situated and we welcome all who visit this place.
• Dr Montague said the facility will carry out world-class research into integrated care and population health, while training the next generation of doctors and nurses.
• The research aims to identify components of an effective collaborative place-based and strengths-based model of working with locationally disadvantaged communities with greater health inequities and poorer health.
• Using a minor to monitor illicit sales is considered best practice in monitoring tobacco, alcohol and cannabis sales to minors in many parts of the world.

Education & Training

It pairs cities and regions at similar levels of advancement in their circular economy journeys, creating space for them to share experiences, explore best practices and collaborate on common challenges. Spread across four floors, the University of Newcastle’s new clinical school will feature a 100-seat lectorial space, seminar rooms, problem-based learning spaces and breakout areas for students, as well as a library. Strategies involve activities in the classroom, installation of chilled water stations on site and promotions both within the school and to the wider community, including parents and carers. The intervention has been rigorously evaluated and demonstrated positive outcomes for student drink choice across metropolitan, regional and rural secondary schools. Dr Montague said the facility will carry out world-class research into integrated care and population health, while training the next generation of doctors and nurses. “The University of Newcastle believes that our new Central Coast Clinical School will strengthen the connection for students between education and healthcare on the Central Coast,” Professor Zelinsky said.

This research will provide the first detailed characterisation of when and why residents of the Central Coast access emergency care towards the end of life. The preferences of patients and carers and a detailed exploration of carers’ experiences will shed further light on the enablers and barriers to quality and integrated care. The recommendations developed from this research will guide care for people and carers at the end of life who access health services in hospital and community setting on the Central Coast. The Central Coast Research Institute acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land, the Darkinyung people, on whose land the Institute is situated and we welcome all who visit this place.

In an effort to improve patient safety, the District piloted a ‘hypo kit’ bundle which includes a cost-effective, distinctive red Hypo Kit with treatment algorithm, guidelines for hypoglycaemia recognition and treatment, together with a staff education package and other resources. Following the success of the pilot project, the District is planning to introduce the Hypo Kit bundle in all wards at Wyong and Gosford Hospitals. Fear of aggression is often cited as a barrier for health service staff in approaching smokers who are breaching smoke-free policies.

We acknowledge the traditional owners of lands on which we meet and conduct our research and pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging and to their culture, heritage and spirituality. This research investigates the end of life journey for people with dementia and their carers on the Central Coast. It will improve understanding of the services provided to people with dementia in their final year of life and the carer experiences during this time. It will co-design with carers and service providers a model of care to support integrated end of life care for people with dementia. The CCRI supports the adoption of research into policy and practice through a range of support services that include education and training opportunities, an integrated care evidence service, and support to the design, implementation and evaluation of integrated care programs.

Using a minor to monitor illicit sales is considered best practice in monitoring tobacco, alcohol and cannabis sales to minors in many parts of the world. There are many ways in which we can utilise research to improve the health and wellbeing of our community. The CCRI seeks to work proactively with community members, health professionals and research partners and welcomes active participation across Coalition for Climate Resilient Investment its Advisory Groups and Communities of Practice. “As we move from the structural phase of construction to the detailed fit-out of the building, the reality of this world-class facility gets closer and I’m pleased that a regional business is continuing its work on this world-class facility,” Mrs Wicks said. “This fantastic facility will ensure our future doctors and nurses benefit from a world-class learning environment, have access to health professionals under the same roof, and be located on the doorstep of Gosford Hospital,” he said. The Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) is pleased to announce that it has joined the network of Achieving the Dream (ATD), a national organization committed to advancing community colleges as accessible hubs of learning, credentialing, and economic mobility.

This research quantifies data relating to interactions between Health Promotion staff and smokers on CCLHD grounds, with aims of trialling de-escalation methods to reduce the risk of aggression to staff. Currently, there are several studies that outline the ease in which young people can purchase alcohol without having to produce ID in Australia. Studies indicate young people who purchase their own alcohol are more likely to partake in risky drinking behaviour. This project involves recruiting 18 and 19 year olds to approach packaged liquor outlets and attempt to purchase alcohol without producing ID.

The event drew students, faculty, and local film lovers to celebrate the achievements of CCRI’s talented filmmakers. Students enrolled in a degree program who have completed 12 credits with a grade point average of 3.25 or higher this semester with no grade lower than “C” are eligible for this scholastic honor. But after accepting and thriving in the lead role for the school’s Yellowman production in 2023, Hayden became a fixture of the school’s theater program over the last two years. The research aims to identify components of an effective collaborative place-based and strengths-based model of working with locationally disadvantaged communities with greater health inequities and poorer health. Costigan’s start date is to be determined as she and the council negotiate the terms of her contract.

Nearly a quarter (24.9%) of children in Australia aged 5–17 years old are above a healthy weight range, with consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages a contributing factor. There is a scarcity of Australian studies regarding school based interventions to address sugar sweetened drink intake for secondary school students. The CCLHD Research Office supports all forms of scientifically sound, ethically approved research and research support activity. There is a broad spectrum of research activity being undertaken within CCLHD from Low and Negligible Risk research to large scale public health and clinical drug trials.

Costigan’s selection makes her the second-ever woman and first alumna to serve as the college’s president. Before her selection, Costigan was CCRI’s vice president for academic affairs and a nursing professor prior to that. “With a growing population that has changing and complex health needs, it’s important we invest in pioneering research and world-class education that creates healthier and more vibrant communities,” Dr Montague said.

Warwick, RI – The Community College of Rhode Island (CCRI) will launch the next phase of work-based learning to increase internships for students to work directly in workplace environments, gaining valuable skills and experience necessary for college and career success. Recent workshops suggested that residents of the Central Coast may be attending the Emergency Department in the final months of life when this is not the most appropriate or preferred place of care. This research will investigate the experience of CCLHD residents and carers who access the emergency department towards the end of life, and make recommendations for how services might be improved. The CCRI Twinning Programme offers cities and regions across Europe the opportunity to engage in peer learning and knowledge exchange.

Located at Gosford Hospital, the CCRI and UONCCCS will house state-of-the-art learning areas including simulation wards and laboratories that will be home to the future of healthcare. Honorary Conjoint Scholars are individuals who have made substantial achievements in their chosen field of research relevant to clinical medicine, nursing, allied health practice or integrated care. The research must broadly align with CCLHD’s key research priorities in accordance with the CCLHD Research Plan. Honorary appointments are awarded to individuals who are not employed by CCLHD, but who are collaborators in research and/or teaching. “This first for the Central Coast will not only create a centre of excellence in healthcare, research and education right here on the Central Coast, but will also prove to be a huge economic boon for the region.
