Professor Jeffrey Braithwaite of the Australian Institute of Health Innovation, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, has been appointed by the Minister of Health and Minister of Sport, the Hon Sussan Ley, MP, as a member of the National Health and Medical Research Council’s Research Committee for the triennium July 2015-June 2018.
This peak body in Australia advises the Council on matters relating to medical and public health research. It also makes recommendations to the Council on the assistance provided from the Medical Research Endowment Account.
“I am excited and honoured to have been chosen by the Minister to join NHMRC’s Research Committee,” Professor Braithwaite said. “As a health services researcher, I hope to be able to bring a vital perspective to the Research Council. This is not so much recognition for me, as a testament to all the wonderful people with whom I’ve researched and taught with over the years, and particularly my superb colleagues and staff at the Australian Institute of Health Innovation."
"This comes at a marvellous time—just when my home university, Macquarie University, has formed a new Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, and there are exciting plans for new teaching programs and research studies,” Professor Braithwaite continued.
Professor Braithwaite is one of Australia’s leading health services and systems researchers with an international reputation for his work investigating and contributing to systems improvement. He has expertise in the culture and structure of acute settings, leadership, management and change in health sector organisations, quality and safety in health care, accreditation and surveying processes in international context, and the restructuring of health services.
A prolific contributor with hundreds of publications in the international literature, Professor Braithwaite has also presented at or chaired international and national conferences, workshops, symposia and meetings on more than 780 occasions, including more than 75 keynote addresses.
